Huh Jung-Moo (Korean: 허정무, Hanja: 許丁茂, born January 13, 1955) is a Korean former football player and the coach of the Korean national team. One of Huh's most memorable goal was a goal he scored against Japan in 2nd leg of final Asian qualifying group stage for 1986 Mexico World Cup. With already 2-1 win in the 1st leg, Huh's goal was to finally end the drought of Korean national team's 32 years of World cup absences and start 6 consecutive appearances of World Cup, which is the most in Asia. Huh played for PSV Eindhoven and Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i. He played in the 1986 FIFA World Cup, marking Argentina's Diego Maradona in one game, and scoring against Italy in another. Huh has previously coached the South Korean national football team twice before, as well as having coaching the Pohang Steelers and the Chunnam Dragons. His team won the Korean FA Cup in 2006 and 2007. Huh was re-appointed coach of the South Korea in December 2007, after the leading candidates Mick McCarthy of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Gérard Houllier, former coach of the French club Olympique Lyonnais, both rejected the job.
