Playing career

edit

Huh was one of the best South Korean college footballers before starting his semi-professional career. He was often compared withKorea University'sCha Bum-kunwhile playing forYonsei University.After his graduation, he joinedKorea Electric Power FC,and simultaneously enlisted inMarine Corpsand Navy FC to do mandatory military service.[3]

When Huh was discharged from the military service, European clubs were interested in Asian players due to Cha Bum-kun's performance in theBundesliga.Motivated by Cha, Huh also wanted to play for a European club,[3]joiningEredivisiesidePSV Eindhovenin August 1980.[4]He mainly played as a defensive midfielder and showed impressive form for three years.Johan Cruyff,who was tired from Huh's active marking, broke Huh's nose with his arm, andWillem van Hanegemshowed a hysteria to Huh with the racist gesture "Slant-eye".

Huh went back to South Korea after the1982–83 season.His wife felt homesick, and he also didn't feel the need to continue his life abroad after hearing the news that aprofessional leaguewas founded in his country.[3][5]Huh joinedHyundai Horang-ias a founding member in 1984, and played for it for three years.

Huh was on theSouth Korea national teamfrom 1974 to 1986, and won two gold medals in theAsian Games.He was also a member of Korean squad in the1986 FIFA World Cup.In a group match againstArgentina,he left a famous photo that he appeared to be kickingDiego Maradonawhose face twisted with pain. Afterwards, he scored a goal againstItaly.

Style of play

edit

Huh was a versatile player, and could play in multiple positions. He was capable of playing as astriker,winger,attacking midfielder,defensive midfielder,orfull-back.He covered great distance by utilising his competitive spirit and stamina. Because of his tough and energetic playing style, he was nicknamed "Jindogae",the hunter dog breed originated from his hometownJindo Island.He was also adept atman markingand often duelled withJohan CruyffinDe Topper.He didn't have rapid pace, but he could dribble the ball with intelligent movement.[3]

Managerial career

edit

Huh has previously coached theSouth Korea national football teamtwice before, as well as running thePOSCO Atomsand theJeonnam Dragons.His team won theKorean FA Cupthree times.

His first term as the coach of the national team was temporary. In 1998, he was appointed for the first time as head coach. He picked some nameless young players and gave them important positions instead of established stars, inviting harsh criticism. After failures in the2000 Summer Olympicsand1998 Asian Games,he was replaced byGuus Hiddink.

Since Hiddink's incredible success in the2002 FIFA World Cup,Korea Football Associationbegan hiring foreign managers, includingHumberto Coelho,Jo Bonfrere,Dick Advocaat,andPim Verbeek.They failed to match Hiddink's success. Meanwhile, the criticized "nameless players" picked by Huh became stars.Park Ji-sung,once the most unpopular player while Huh was coach, turned into the most successful player in Asia.Lee Young-pyoandSeol Ki-hyeonalso rose to prominence. The success of Huh's former apprentices and him with Jeonnam Dragons made him revalued as a candidate for head coach. Huh was appointed for the second time in December 2007 after leading candidatesMick McCarthyandGérard Houllierboth rejected the job.

Huh got the team qualified for the2010 FIFA World Cupwithout a loss in thequalification. In November 2009, he won AFC Coach of the Year after leading the national team to 27 consecutive games without a loss. The team advanced to the second round of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
