Park Jong-hwan (Korean: 박종환; 9 February 1938 – 7 October 2023) was a South Korean football manager.

Managerial career

Considered one of South Korea's greatest football managers in the 20th century, Park led South Korean under-20 team to the semi-finals in the 1983 FIFA World Youth Championship, and Ilhwa Chunma to three consecutive K League titles from 1993 to 1995.[3] He left memorable results by showing various tactics under players' great teamwork.[4][5] However, he was also criticised for his oppressive style and violence against players.[3] He was nicknamed the "Bat Park" due to his violence.[3]
