Timeline
Huh got the team qualified for the 2010 FIFA World Cup without a loss in the qualification. In November 2009, Huh won the AFC Coach of the Year Award after leading the national team to 27 consecutive games without a loss. Huh's national team successed to advance to the round of 16 in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Since Hiddink's incredible success in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Korea Football Association began hiring foreign managers, including Humberto Coelho, Jo Bonfrere, Dick Advocaat, and Pim Verbeek. They failed to match Hiddink's success, however. 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-pyo and Seol Ki-hyeon also rose in prominence. The success of Huh's former apprentices and that of himself in Jeonnam Dragons made him revalued as a candidate for head coach. Huh was re-appointed in December 2007 after leading candidates Mick McCarthy and Gérard Houllier both rejected the job.
His first term as the coach of the national team was temporary. In 1998, he was appointed for the second time. Then he picked up some nameless young players and give them important positions instead of established stars, inviting harsh criticism against him. After failures in the 2000 Summer Olympics and 1998 Asian Games, he was replaced by Guus Hiddink.
In 1984, Huh joined Hyundai Horang-i as an original founding member and retired from player life in 1986.
European clubs were interested in Asian players due to Cha Bum-kun's performance in the Bundesliga when Huh was discharged from the military service. Huh also wanted to join a European club because he was under impetus from Cha's performance. In August 1980, he joined Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven. He mainly played as a defensive midfielder and showed impressive form for three years. Johan Cruyff, tired from Huh's active marking, broke Huh's nose with his arm and Willem van Hanegem showed the "Slant-eye" racist gesture to Huh. PSV finished as runners-up in the 1982–83 Eredivisie and Huh went back to South Korea after the season because his wife felt homesick.
Huh joined Yonsei University in 1974. He was often compared with Cha Bum-kun of Korea University, rival of Yonsei University. After graduation, Huh joined Korea Electric Power FC and enlisted in the Marine Corps and the Navy FC for mandatory military service.
Huh was on the South Korea national team from 1974 through 1986 and won two gold medals in the Asian Games. He was a member of Korean squad in the 1986 FIFA World Cup. In the match against Argentina, he left a famous photo that he appeared to be kicking Diego Maradona whose face twisted with pain. In the match against Italy, he scored a goal.
Huh Jung-moo (Korean: 허정무, Hanja: 許丁茂, born January 13, 1955 in Jindo, Jeonnam, South Korea) is a former South Korean football player and manager.
