Kim Jong-boo (Korean: 김종부, born 13 January 1965) is a South Korean football manager and former player. He was one of the most influential footballers in South Korea during the 1980s.

Playing career

[edit]

In the 1983 FIFA World Youth Championship, Kim showed great performances including his two goals and two assists, leading South Korean under-20 team to the semi-finals. He became the most popular young footballer in South Korea after the World Youth Championship, and interested K League clubs. Prior to his graduation from Korea University, Kim wanted to join Daewoo Royals which was employing his former coach Lee Cha-man, but Korea University pressured on him to join Hyundai Horang-i due to their deal with Hyundai. During the conflict between Daewoo and Hyundai over him, Hyundai insisted on his agreement after getting a provisional contract with his brother-in-law who was his agent. Afterwards, Kim denied the provisional contract by announcing he would go to Daewoo, and Korea University deprived him of his qualification as a player to obstruct his move to Daewoo. However, they postponed their disciplinary action against him until after the 1986 FIFA World Cup due to other national players' complaints. Kim played two World Cup matches as a substitute with the help of his colleagues. He scored the equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Bulgaria, earning South Korea's first-ever World Cup point.

The conflict between Daewoo and Hyundai was continued even after the World Cup, and Kim couldn't make any official appearance due to his suspension until 1987. By the way, the Korea Football Association (KFA) allowed his registration as a Daewoo player in November 1987, trying to bring him back into the field. Hyundai announced the dissolution of their football club after being outraged at KFA's decision. KFA president Choi Soon-young had to resign to pacify Hyundai, one of the biggest sponsors in South Korean football, and Kim also had to join one of the other clubs. Kim finally joined POSCO Atoms in 1988, but two-year dispute weakened him physically and mentally. His professional career wasn't as successful as expected.[2]
