Kim Sang-sik (Korean: 김상식; Hanja: 金相植; born 17 December 1976) is a South Korean football manager and former player. During his playing career, he played for the South Korea national team as a centre-back or a defensive midfielder. He is the head coach of the Vietnam national football team.

Playing career

[edit]

Senior carrer

[edit]

In 1999, Kim joined Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma, significantly contributing to Seongnam's consecutive K League championships in 2001 and 2002. He joined the army club Gwangju Sangmu in 2003 to perform his military service, returning to Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma in 2005.[1] Kim contributed to their victory in the 2006 K League and their runner-up finish the following season.

Because of the team`s negative overall performance in 2008 and the transition from coach Kim Hak-bum to Shin Tae-yong, Kim transferred to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors with Lee Dong-gook in January 2009 as a part of the team's restructuring.[2] Kim was appointed the new captain of the team.[3]

On November 26, 2013, Kim announced his retirement.[4] In his final match against FC Seoul, Kim scored on a penalty kick, ending his playing career on a high note.[5]

International carrer

[edit]

On May 29, 2000, Kim debuted for the national team in a friendly match against Yugoslavia and participated in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In the 2007 AFC Asian Cup, he replaced the injured Kim Nam-Il as the main defensive midfielder and contributed to South Korea reaching the semifinals. During the tournament, however, Kim was involved in a drinking scandal with goalkeeper Lee Woon-Jae and others, resulting in a one-year suspension from the national team and a two-year ban from competitions organized by the Korea Football Association.[6]

He was called up to the national team again after nearly five years for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers against Kuwait on February 29, 2012. He played defensive midfielder in this match and performed well, leading South Korea to a 2-0 victory.[7] He retired from the national team after this match.

Managerial career

[edit]

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors

[edit]

After retiring at the end of 2013, he went to France to receive coaching training. In 2014, he returned to Jeonbuk and worked as an assistant coach under managers Choi Kang-hee and José Morais.

On December 7, 2020, he participated in the AFC certified Pro License coaching course along with Kim Eun-jung and Choi Tae-uk.[8] Subsequently, on December 22, 2020, he was appointed as the 6th manager of Jeonbuk, succeeding José Morais. Kim Sang-sik became the first former Jeonbuk player to be appointed as the team's head coach.[9]

In his first season as manager (2021), he led Jeonbuk to win the K League 1 title. He became the first person to win the K League title with Jeonbuk as a player, coach, and manager. In the history of the K League, he is the third person to achieve this feat, following Cho Kwang-rae and Choi Yong-soo.[10]

Kim Sang-sik was awarded the Best Manager Award in the 2021 K League.[11]

In 2022, Jeonbuk's trademark attacking football lost its edge, and the team faced tactical issues, leading to pressure and criticism from fans for his resignation. Ultimately, Jeonbuk finished as runners-up in the K League 1, behind Ulsan Hyundai. However, they managed to win the FA Cup by defeating FC Seoul, thus avoiding a trophyless season and alleviating the disappointment of missing out on the K League 1 title.[12]

On November 17, 2022, he renewed his contract with Jeonbuk.[13]

However, entering the 2023 season, he faced criticism for lacking tactical precision and direction, as well as poor crisis management skills. By the 10th round of K League 1, Jeonbuk had only 3 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses, placing them 10th out of 12 teams with 10 points. The team had already suffered 6 losses in just 10 games, compared to 7 losses (21 wins, 10 draws) in the entire previous season.

Ultimately, on May 4, 2023, he resigned, ending his 15-year association with Jeonbuk.[14]

Vietnam

[edit]

On May 3, 2024, Kim was appointed head coach of the Vietnam national team and Vietnam national under-23s, following Philippe Troussier's departure.[15] He started building his coaching team by hiring Choi Won-kwon, the former Daegu FC head coach, as assistant.[16] A month later on June 3, he made his debut as Vietnam head coach in the fifth match of Group F of the 2026 FIFA World Cup AFC second round qualifiers, facing the Philippines, leading Vietnam to a 3-2 victory and ending an eight-match losing streak. They lost the final match to Iraq, finishing third in the group and missing out on the third round of the World Cup AFC qualifiers, instead advancing to the Asian Cup final qualifiers.[17]
