The following is a list of South Korea national football team managers, first established in June 1948 with the appointment of Park Chung-hwi.[1]
A total of 47 managers managed South Korea during 74 appointments (excluding caretaker managers).[2]
South Korean managers initially managed the national team as a sideline, but in 1992 the Korea Football Association adopted a policy that only full-time managers could manage the national team.[4]
