Choi Tae-uk (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler; born 13 March 1981) is a South Korean football coach and former player who is assistant coach of South Korea.
Club career
Choi is a natural winger well known for his great speed. He was identified as a very promising talent in his childhood, and was selected by Anyang LG Cheetahs in the 2000 draft following his graduation from Bupyeong High School. Despite his early promise, his professional career at Anyang was particularly successful, playing as a wing-back together with then-teammate Lee Young-pyo.
After short spells playing for Incheon United and J1 League side Shimizu S-Pulse, Choi joined Pohang Steelers. Although one of the better paid players at Pohang, Choi was not given much of a chance under Brazilian coach Sergio Farias. This was largely because the Steelers concentrated on midfield play rather than the sidelines, with playmaker Andrezinho (known as Tavares in South Korea) playing a significant role. Choi was usually fielded as a substitute. Following the conclusion of the 2007 season, he transferred to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.
Choi retired from football in 2015 due to an injury.
International career
At international level, Choi was part of the South Korean Olympic football team in 2004. At the Olympics, South Korea finished second in Group A, making it through to the next round, but was defeated by eventual silver medal winners Paraguay.[1]
Choi was also a member of the South Korean World Cup team in 2002, but spent most of the tournament on the bench.
