Huh Jung-moo (Korean: 허정무, Hanja: 許丁茂, born January 13, 1955 in Jindo, Jeonnam, South Korea) is a former Korean football player and coach. He is current vice-president of the Korea Football Association.
Huh played for PSV Eindhoven and Hyundai Horangi as midfielder. Because of his tough and energetic playing style, he was nicknamed as Jindogae, the hunter dog breed originated from his hometown Jindo Island. Huh joined PSV Eindhoven on August 1980. He played until May 1983 for 3 seasons. As one of rare Korean players in Europe in 1980s, he was often compared with Cha Bum-kun who had been playing in Bundesliga of Germany. He was a member of Korean squad in the 1986 FIFA World Cup. In the match against Argentina, he left a famous photo that he appeared to be kicking Maradona whose face twisted with pain. In the match against Italy, he scored 1 goal.
Huh has previously coached the South Korea national football team twice before, as well as running the Pohang Atoms and the Chunnam Dragons. His team won the Korean FA Cup in 2006 and 2007.
His first term as the coach of the national team was temporary. In 1998, he was appointed for the second time. Then he picked up some nameless young players and give them important positions instead of established stars, inviting harsh criticism against him. After failures in the 2000 Summer Olympics and 1998 Asian Games, he was replaced by Guus Hiddink.
