Cha Kyung-bok (10 January 1937 – 31 October 2006) was a South Korean football manager.

Playing career

[edit]

A native of Jeongeup, Jeonbuk, Cha graduated from Joongdong High School in 1959 and received a bachelor's degree from Kyung Hee University in 1968. He played as a national player during his student days and won two AFC Youth Championships.[11] He also played a group match against United Arab Republic in the 1964 Summer Olympics, but lost the match 10–0. He played for Cheil Industries and Industrial Bank of Korea during his semi-professional career after graduating from university.[7][8]

Coaching career

[edit]

On 27 December 1972, Cha got a five-month suspension due to having a fight with an opponent in the middle of a match.[12] Around the same time, he retired as a player and became a coach of Industrial Bank. On 23 September 1975, he played a match as a substitute player due to lack of players in the club.[13]

Cha was appointed as a manager of Jeju provincial team in July 1980, but was sacked for hitting a referee after just three months.[14]

Refereeing career

[edit]

Cha qualified as a referee in 1982,[15] and umpired two matches in the 1984 Summer Olympics.[16] He also performed the role of assistant referee in the final match.[17]

Managerial career

[edit]

Cha managed Incheon National University from 1983 to 1985 while he spending his refereeing career. He also managed Kyung Hee University, for which he played in the past, until he became a director of Korea Football Association (KFA) in 1991.[18]

Cha became the head of KFA's technical committee on 30 January 1993.[19] However, he resigned from the association on 8 November due to internal fights of the national team and a defeat to Japan, although the national team succeeded in qualifying for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.[20] On 12 December 1994, he joined K League club Jeonbuk Dinos as their first manager.[21]

Cha had returned to KFA as the head of referees' committee in 1997 after two years with Jeonbuk Dinos, but contracted with Cheonan Ilhwa Chunma (renamed Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma in 2000) after one and a half years. He left his best result at Seongnam alongside his assistant coach Kim Hak-bum. He dominated players with his great leadership, and endowed Kim with authority of the team's tactics.[22] He achieved three consecutive K League titles from 2001 to 2003, and was named the Asian Coach of the Year by Asian Football Confederation in 2003.[23] His team advanced to the AFC Champions League final in 2004, and made a good opportunity to win the Asian title by having a 3–1 away win over Al-Ittihad in the first leg. However, he suffered a shocking 5–0 home defeat in the second leg, and resigned from his post after the match.[22]

Cha died on 31 October 2006 after suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) for five months.[1]
