Kim Nam-il ({{langx|ko|김남일}}; Hanja: 金南一; born 1 May 1977) is a South Korean football manager and former player who played as defensive midfielder.

Early life

Kim Nam-il began playing football in third grade of elementary school. His decision to play football was initially met with opposition from his parents because of his impressive academic performance, but he continued his football career during his schooldays.{{cite web |url=http://isplussvc.joins.com/asp/article.asp?aid=172164 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310174545/http://isplussvc.joins.com/asp/article.asp?aid=172164 |script-title=ko:[김남일 프리즘] 공부잘해 처음엔 축구 만류 |publisher=Ilgan Sports |date=9 July 2002 |archive-date=10 March 2007 |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}}

In the 1996 AFC Youth Championship, he played for South Korean under-20 team, and scored his first international goal against Iran,{{cite news |url=https://newslibrary.naver.com/viewer/index.nhn?articleId=1996102600209113006&editNo=45&printCount=1&publishDate=1996-10-26&officeId=00020&pageNo=13&printNo=23349&publishType=00010 |script-title=ko:축구 한국 4전승"4강헤딩" |newspaper=The Dong-a Ilbo |date=26 October 1996 |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}} He wasn't selected as a participant in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship, but he was named in South Korean senior team for the 1998 Asian Games by the manager Huh Jung-moo. He made his senior international debut in the tournament.{{cite news |url=https://newslibrary.naver.com/viewer/index.nhn?articleId=1998110400209130001&editNo=45&printCount=1&publishDate=1998-11-04&officeId=00020&pageNo=30&printNo=24030&publishType=00010 |script-title=ko:허정무 축구대표팀감독 오늘 조련 돌입 "수비불안 확 뜯어 고치겠다" |newspaper=The Dong-a Ilbo |date=8 November 1998 |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}}

Playing career

Under Guus Hiddink, Kim began to play for the national team in earnest. Former unimpressive player in the K League, he was criticized early in his international career due to poor basic skills. However, in Hiddink's belief, he became an irreplaceable defensive midfielder who could block counterattacks of the opponent team beforehand. Nicknamed the "Vacuum cleaner", he showed strong stamina and relentless tussle.{{cite web |url=http://www.donga.com/news/article/all/20020512/7818202/1?= |script-title=ko:[2002태극전사]소리없이 강한 '철벽' 김남일 |date=12 May 2002 |work=The Dong-a Ilbo |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}} In the 2002 World Cup, he appeared all five games until the quarter-finals, but he injured his ankle during the quarter-final match against Spain.{{cite news |url=https://news.joins.com/article/1868944 |script-title=ko:김남일 부상 심각 '대표팀 비상' |date=22 June 2002 |newspaper=JoongAng Ilbo |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}} South Korea lost to Germany in the semi-finals after he quit the tournament.

The term "Kim Nam-il Syndrome" began to be coined by tabloids to describe Kim's superstardom status. During the 2002 World Cup, he gained an unusually large female fan base,{{cite web |url=http://isplussvc.joins.com/asp/article.asp?aid=168276 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310174525/http://isplussvc.joins.com/asp/article.asp?aid=168276 |script-title=ko:전남, 김남일 '특별 관리' |publisher=Ilgan Sports |date=29 June 2002 |archive-date=10 March 2007 |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}} led to sold-out matches and goodies, and caused a sudden increase in popularity of Jeonnam Dragons. Kim, a former unknown to the public, then became highly desirable by numerous endorsement companies that were eager to pay high amounts of money.{{cite web |url=http://www.televi.net/korea/s2.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181009092620/http://www.televi.net/korea/s2.htm |script-title=ko:"김남일 덕 우리도 좀 보자" 인기폭발 |publisher=Korea Televi Net |archive-date=9 October 2018 |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}} Many TV programs had asked, or pressured at times for, Kim to appear, but he rejected their offers, and appeared only on interviews instead.{{cite web |url=http://isplussvc.joins.com/asp/article.asp?aid=172411 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310174610/http://isplussvc.joins.com/asp/article.asp?aid=172411 |script-title=ko:"협박해도 김남일 방송출연 NO" |publisher=Ilgan Sports |date=18 July 2002 |archive-date=10 March 2007 |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}}

In January 2003, Kim joined an Eredivisie club Feyenoord on loan, and was subleased to the satellite club Excelsior to be tested for five months.{{cite news |url=http://sports.news.naver.com/general/news/read.nhn?oid=001&aid=0000312752 |script-title=ko:김남일, 엑셀시오르에 5개월 임대 |date=29 January 2013 |access-date=2018-04-28 |language=ko}} However, he didn't make a strong impression.{{cite news |url=http://sports.news.naver.com/general/news/read.nhn?oid=015&aid=0000622594 |script-title=ko:김남일, 내주 전남 복귀 |date=13 June 2003 |access-date=2018-04-28 |language=ko}}

In the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Kim didn't only contribute to South Korea's defense, but also attack with long-range passes.{{cite web |url=http://www.bluewings.kr/news/273412 |script-title=ko:김남일, "아드보카트 매직" 키워드 |date=14 June 2006 |publisher=Suwon Samsung Bluewings |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}}{{cite web |url=http://www.bluewings.kr/news/273415 |script-title=ko:이운재-김남일, 프랑스전 무승부의 주역 |date=19 June 2006 |publisher=Suwon Samsung Bluewings |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}} He also played in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but he was blamed by some South Korean fans after conceding a penalty kick to Nigeria.{{cite web |url=https://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=201006230742151001 |script-title=ko:김남일 거친 태클 동점골 허용에 아내 김보민 미니홈피 일부네티즌 비난폭주 |date=23 June 2010 |publisher=Newsen |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}}

Managerial career

Kim started his career as a coach at Jiangsu Suning in 2016. He joined the South Korea's coaching staff for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. After the World Cup, he joined Jeonnam Dragons as a coach.

On 23 December 2019, Kim was appointed as the manager of Seongnam FC.{{cite web |script-title=ko:성남FC, 김남일 신임감독 선임 |url=https://www.seongnamfc.com/news/notice-view.php?No=1952&keyfield=&keyword=&page=1&board_table=news |publisher=Seongnam FC |access-date=26 December 2019 |language=ko |archive-date=9 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200509140557/https://www.seongnamfc.com/news/notice-view.php?No=1952&keyfield=&keyword=&page=1&board_table=news |url-status=dead }}

Personal life

Kim is the youngest of the three brothers in his family, and is a close friend of Lee Kwan-woo and Lee Dong-gook.

Since 2006, there had been rumours about his relationship with anchorwoman Kim Bo-min eventually leading to the possibility of his marriage. The question was raised once again when a netizen posted a picture of a woman who he claimed was Kim Bo-min at Suwon World Cup Stadium. The woman was wearing a hat and a light green scarf that covered about half of her face.{{cite web |url=http://isplus.joins.com/enter/star/200608/11/200608111059094836020100000201020002010201.html |script-title=ko:김보민이 수원 월드컵경기장에 나타났다? |date=11 August 2006 |publisher=Ilgan Sports |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}} Both Kim Bo-min and Kim Nam-il neither confirmed nor denied the allegation. In an interview with a women's magazine, the footballer's parents have stated that they have heard from their son that they are romantically involved, but did not hear about marriage.{{cite web |url=http://isplus.joins.com/enter/tv/200610/23/2006102308570539010020300000203010002030101.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310174700/http://isplus.joins.com/enter/tv/200610/23/2006102308570539010020300000203010002030101.html |script-title=ko:김남일 부모 "김보민 아나운서와 올해 결혼 없지만 내년쯤 기대" |date=23 October 2006 |archive-date=10 March 2007 |publisher=Ilgan Sports |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}} In June 2007, the couple secretly became engaged and revealed that they had met three years ago. They are married and are having a son.{{cite web |url=http://sports.hankooki.com/lpage/entv/200706/sp2007060518375158390.htm |script-title=ko:약혼 김보민 아나 "3년전부터 만났어요" 고백 |date=5 June 2007 |publisher=Sports Hanguk |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=ko}}
