Ko Jeong-woon (born 27 June 1966) is a South Korean football manager and former player. He is currently manager of K League 2 club Gimpo FC.
Ko was one of South Korea's most influential forwards at the 1994 FIFA World Cup.[1] While playing three group stage matches as a left winger for his country, he sent off Miguel Ángel Nadal in a 2–2 draw with Spain.[2]
That year, Ko also received the K League Most Valuable Player Award after lifting the league trophy. According to him, Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen was interested in him, approaching his club Ilhwa Chunma at the end of the season. He individually negotiated with Leverkusen after going to Germany, but Ilhwa's director strongly opposed his transfer. He said the cancellation of the contract became his lifelong resentment.[3]
