Coach Kim won 3-0 in the 30th round of the 「Hana Bank K League 1 2025" against Gwangju at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 21st, marking his 100th career win in the first division of the K League. It is a record achieved in 239 games since his debut as a professional head coach in Pohang in 2019, and he currently has 100 wins, 70 draws, and 69 losses. It is a record that only considers the pure first division regular league.
Coach Kim has achieved 100 wins for the 15th time since the launch of the K-League in 1983. Daejeon head coach Hwang Sun-hong, Jeju head coach Kim Hak-beom, Choi Kang-hee, Kim Jung-nam, Kim Yong-soo, Lee Hoi-taek, Cha Bum-keun, Ko Jae-wook, Cho Sung-hwan, Cho Kwang-rae, Kim Ho-gon, and Cha Kyung-bok have won more than 100 games. Choi Kang-hee, the current coach of Shandong Taishan, who led Jeonbuk's heyday, held the record for the most wins with 203 wins.
Director Kim is a self-proclaimed `man of record' He achieved the oldest K-League score (39 years, 5 months and 27 days) and the first 500 games as a field player due to his terrible self-management during his active days.
After the match against Gwangju, head coach Kim said "It's meaningless. As he worked hard as a player, he recorded the oldest score and most appearances. (Even as a coach) I did my best in every game and won 100 games. It should be an opportunity to develop using this as a springboard."
Seoul, which won head coach Kim's 100th victory and recaptured fifth place in the match against Gwangju, is aiming to settle for the Final A for the second consecutive year.
