Chung Yong-hwan (Korean: 정용환, 10 February 1960 – 7 June 2015) was a South Korean football player and manager.

Playing career

[edit]

Chung played as a one-club man for K League club Daewoo Royals after graduating from Korea University. He led Daewoo to three K League titles and once won the league MVP award.

Considered one of the best K League defenders during the 1980s, Chung also played for South Korean national team. He largely contributed to South Korea's qualification for the 1986 FIFA World Cup, and was named the Most Valuable Player by Korea Football Association after qualifiers. He played all three of South Korea's group matches in the 1986 World Cup, but failed to advance to the knockout stage. He captained South Korea in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, but only played the first match due to an Achilles injury.[2]

Chung left for England to study the system of foreign football in 1995 after finishing his playing career in South Korea. He also negotiated with Fulham, a fourth division team at the time, to join as a player, but the contract was vitiated because he did not get a work permit.[3]

Style of play

[edit]

Chung was noted for his jumping ability and did not lose aerial duels against 1.97 m forward Rob Landsbergen, although he was not tall. His fast reaction and good sense of balance also made his defensive skills accurately.[4] He did not receive a yellow card in the K League for eight years from 1984 to 1991.[5]

Death

[edit]

Chung died of stomach cancer on 7 June 2015.[6]
