Jang Jung (Korean: 장정) is a South Korean former footballer who mostly played as a centre-back throughout his entire career.
Jang formerly played with Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso in South Korea.[1]
In 1989, he joined Perak FA in Malaysia.[1] In 1991, he joined Singapore FA[1] and Geylang United in Singapore.
Jang played for the South Korea national under-20 football team and won the bronze medal in the 1983 World Youth Championship.[2]
He also represented the South Korean Olympic team for the 1985 Merlion Cup.[2]
While playing for Geylang United, Jang was trained as a coach and completed his qualifications.[1] He eventually became part of the club's youth coaching system.[1]
Jang coached the Sri Lanka's U23 and their national football team[3] for six years[1] until April 2012.[4]
On 19 July 2012, it was announced that Jang will take over his former team Perak FA's head coach position from Norizan Bakar on an interim basis until the end of the 2012 Malaysia Cup campaign.[5] His spell with Perak was a disappointing one, recording only one win, while suffering three draws and two defeats in six Malaysia Cup group stage matches, failing to qualify to the quarter-finals. His contract was not renewed after the Malaysia Cup exit.
