Lim Teong Kim (born 26 August 1963 in Malacca) is a retired Malaysian football player and formerly an assistant coach of Bayern Munich U19 Team.[2][3]
Career
Playing career
The former midfielder, renowned for his ruthless streak, began his career with Malacca in 1983 before moving to Kuala Lumpur from 1984–1986.
He became the first Malaysian footballer to play in Europe when he signed for German club Hertha BSC in 1987. He only played for a single season in Germany before returning to Malaysia.[4]
After returning from Germany, Lim signed and played for Kuala Lumpur, winning Malaysia Cup winner’s medals for a record three consecutive times from 1987-1989.
Apart from the stay in Berlin, Lim had a short trial with Austrian outfit, Grazer AK in 1990.[5] His last outing as a player was for Kedah FA in 1993-1994.
With the Malaysia national team, he won the 1989 Southeast Asian Games gold medal. He scored the second goal in the 3–1 win over Singapore in the final.[6]
Coaching career
Lim started his coaching career with Bayern Munich Junior Team in 2001 until 2011. He returned to Malaysia in August 2013 signing a five-year contract with the Sports Ministry as the Project Director of National Football Development Programme (NFDP).[7] Later in 2016, he was appointed as the Director of Mokhtar Dahari Academy (AMD), in a contract that was supposed to last until 2020.[8] Syed Saddiq, the Minister of Youth and Sports Malaysia revealed that Lim was receiving a RM175,000 monthly salary package with tax exemption as the director of AMD.[9] In September 2018, following the failure of the Malaysian B-16 squad to advance to the U-17 World Cup in Peru 2019, FAM held Lim responsible and had taken drastic action by terminating Teong Kim’s service as coach with immediate effect.[9][10]
