Chung Yong-hwan (Korean: 정용환, 10 February 1960 – 7 June 2015) was a South Koreanfootball player and manager.
Chung played as aone-club man forK League clubDaewoo Royals after graduating fromKorea University. He led Daewoo to three K League titles and once won theleague MVP award.
Considered one of the best K League defenders during the 1980s, Chung also played forSouth Korean national team. He largely contributed to South Korea's qualification for the1986 FIFA World Cup, and was named theMost Valuable Player byKorea Football Association afterqualifiers. 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 the1990 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 withFulham, afourth division team at the time, to join as a player, but the contract was vitiated because he did not get a work permit.[3]
Chung was noted for his jumping ability and did not lose aerial duels against 1.97 m forwardRob 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]
Chung died ofstomach cancer on 7 June 2015.[6]
