Cha Sang-kwang is a South Korean football coach and former player.

International career

Cha played as a goalkeeper for South Korean national team in the 1994 Asian Games. However, his first and only major tournament left him with bad memory and discredit. He faced only two shots during the semi-final match against Uzbekistan, but conceded one after failing to catch the ball right in front of him by mistake. On the other hand, South Korea scored no goals and was eliminated, although having 28 shots. He was widely criticised for his mistake in his country after the tournament.[2]

Coaching career

Cha became a goalkeeping coach after retiring as a player. He coached Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma and South Korean national youth teams.[3][4]

Personal life

Cha played with his younger brother Cha Sang-hae in POSCO Atoms.[5] Sang-hae played as a striker and won the K League Top Scorer Award in the 1993 season.
