Park Sung-hwa (Hangul: 박성화; born 7 May 1955) is a South Korea football manager and a retired football player. He currently manages Gyeongnam FC of K League Challenge.

Club career

Following his playing career, Park became a manager, and led the Korea U-20 side to the 2003 and 2005 FIFA World Youth Championships.^[1]

In the 2010 mid-season, he was appointed as a new manager of Chinese Super League club Dalian Shide.

Park was the head coach of Myanmar national football team and Myanmar national under-23 football team, until his dismissal on 16 December 2013, two weeks before his contract ran out. His sacking was caused by the defeat of Myanmar U-23 football team to Indonesia U-23 in the 2013 Southeast Asian Games football tournament group stage by 1-0, which eliminated the hosts from the knockout stages.^[2]^[3]^[4]
