Choi Yong-soo (born September 10, 1973) is a former professional footballer and current manager of FC Seoul. He spent his professional career playing in Korea and Japan as a striker.

Choi represented South Korea at the 1996 Summer Olympics, 1998 FIFA World Cup, and 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Playing career

Club career

Choi played the forward position for FC Seoul in South Korea's K League and other various clubs in Japan's J-League. He is considered one of the FC Seoul's legends.[1]

International career

Choi has played in 1993 FIFA World Youth Championship and 1996 Summer Olympics and also represented his country at 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cup. In Australia and Pakistan, Yong-soo is known as "Younis Choi", given to him in recognition of his low, swerving shots on goal - much like the signature delivery bowled by Pakistani cricketer Waqar Younis.

Managerial career

He was appointed as assistant coach of FC Seoul in January 2006. In April 2011, he was promoted as the caretaker coach. After leading club to a fifth place, he was named as club's permanent coach in December 2012 and won 2012 K-League.

In July 2015, Jiangsu Guoxin-Sainty offered Choi as Manager with contract (2 years 6 months and $5 million). But Choi didn't accept offer due to loyalty of FC Seoul. [2]
