Coach Kim, who spent his active life with the Distinguished Elephant and Jeonnam Dragons, began his leadership career in 1999 when he took the helm of Bupyeong High School. Afterwards, he served as a coach for Jeonnam in 2005 after passing Baekam Jong High School, and became the head coach in 2012 after serving as an acting coach and coach for Incheon United.
