Kim Sang-sik
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 currently manager of Vietnam and Vietnam U23, and is considered one of the greatest managers in Vietnamese football history.
In 1999, Kim joined Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma, significantly contributing to Seongnam's consecutive K League championships in 2001 and 2002. He joined the military club Gwangju Sangmu in 2003 to perform his military service, and returned to Seongnam in 2005. He once again contributed to a K League title in 2006.
Because of the team's negative performance in 2008 and the transition from coach Kim Hak-bum to Shin Tae-yong, Kim transferred to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in January 2009 as a part of the team's restructuring. He was appointed the new captain of the team.
On 26 November 2013, Kim announced his retirement. In his final match against FC Seoul, Kim scored on a penalty kick, ending his playing career on a high note.
On 29 May 2000, Kim debuted for the South Korea national team in a friendly match against Yugoslavia.
Kim was selected for the national team for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and played two Group G matches as a substitute.
In the 2007 AFC Asian Cup, he replaced injured defensive midfielder Kim Nam-il and helped South Korea reach the semi-finals. However, Kim was involved in a drinking scandal with captain Lee Woon-jae and some others during the tournament, resulting in a one-year suspension from the national team and a two-year ban from competitions organized by the Korea Football Association.
After nearly five years, in February 2012, Kim returned to the national team prior to a friendly against Uzbekistan and a World Cup qualifier against Kuwait. He retired from the national team after these matches.
