This is a Korean name; the family name is Jang.

Jang Jung (Korean: 장정) is a South Korean former footballer. He mostly played at defender.

Club Career

He formerly played with FC Seoul (as then known Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso) in South Korea, Perak FA and Singapore FA in Malaysia and Geylang United in Singapore.

Coaching Career

He was recently working in Sri Lanka as a head coach for Sri Lanka national football team[1] until April 2012.[2]

On 19 July 2012, it was announced that Jang Jung 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.[3] 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.
