Lee Jung-soo

Lee Jung-soo is a name Korean football fans of a certain era will remember fondly. Born in Gimhae and a graduate of Kyung Hee University, the 185cm defender was a steady presence in the national team during a memorable run. What I appreciate is the full arc of his career: from playing professionally to staying in the game as a coach, eventually taking the head role at Kanchanaburi Power in Thailand's top flight. That move into Southeast Asian football interests me, since it reflects how Korean expertise is increasingly exported across Asia. He strikes me as someone genuinely committed to the sport's craft.
