it was inadequate to advance to the next round. Suwon Samsung Bluewings After stepping down as national manager, Kim was contacted by a new K League club Suwon Samsung Bluewings to become the first-ever manager of the club. He lifted 13 trophies including two K Leagues and two Asian Club Championships for eight years with Suwon. He also nurtured and discovered young talents called the "Kim Ho's Children". Many of them had successful careers in the K League even after his resignation. Ko Jong-soo and Kim Do-heon played for the national team among his pupils. He announced his retirement at the end of 2003. Daejeon Citizen Kim joined Daejeon Citizen in 2007, canceling his retirement. He had been regarded as one of the greatest South Korean managers before his return, but lost his honor by courting controversies in Daejeon. Kim was in conflict with the president and the board of directors due to team's financial problem as well as his poor results. Furthermore, the club's agent who was having a close relationship with Kim suffered discredit for embezzlement. Kim was finally removed from the team with the president in 2009. Kim had finished his managerial career, but caused controversies again in Daejeon after 10 years. He was appointed the president of Daejeon Citizen in 2017 despite previous conflict, and engaged a significant number of his acquaintances as manager, agent, and players without principle. Daejeon Citizen was owned by the Daejeon Government at the time, and its finance was relying on the citizens' precious tax money. Kim received many criticisms, leaving Daejeon in 2019. Ko Jong-soo, the club's manager of the time and Kim's disciple, faced a court the next year.
