South Korea has appointed Cho Kwang-rae as the new coach of the national football team.

The Korea Football Association said Wednesday that 56-year-old Cho, previously in charge of South Korean club Gyeongnam, will take over from Huh Jung-moo.

Huh led the country to the second round of the recent World Cup - the first time South Korea had done so on foreign soil - when it lost 2-1 to Uruguay.

Cho was a midfielder for the national team in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
