He joined the military club Gwangju Sangmu in 2003 to perform his military service, and returned to Seongnam in 2005.[1] He once again contributed to a K League title in 2006.

Because of the team's negative performance in 2008 and the transition from coach Kim Hak-bum to Shin Tae-yong, Kim transferred to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in January 2009 as a part of the team's restructuring.[2] He was appointed the new captain of the team.[3]

On 26 November 2013, Kim announced his retirement.[4] In his final match against FC Seoul, Kim scored on a penalty kick, ending his playing career on a high note.[5]

In the 2007 AFC Asian Cup, he replaced injured defensive midfielder Kim Nam-il and helped South Korea reach the semi-finals. However, Kim was involved in a drinking scandal with captain Lee Woon-jae and some others during the tournament, resulting in a one-year suspension from the national team and a two-year ban from competitions organized by the Korea Football Association.[7]

After nearly five years, in February 2012, Kim returned to the national team prior to a friendly against Uzbekistan and a World Cup qualifier against Kuwait. He retired from the national team after these matches.[8]

In the 2021 season, his first season as a manager, he led Jeonbuk to win the K League 1 title. He became the first person to win the league title with Jeonbuk as a player, coach, and manager.[11] In the history of the K League, he is the third person to achieve this feat, following Cho Kwang-rae and Choi Yong-soo.[12] He was awarded the K League Manager of the Year Award after the season.[13]

In 2022, however, Jeonbuk was gradually focus on defense and counter-attack due to Kim's monotonous tactics in contrast with previous managers, and he was criticised for losing Jeonbuk's characteristic.[14] Despite the criticism, he could renew his contract with the club after winning the Korean FA Cup.[15]

Early in the 2023 season, Kim failed to improve his problems, and Jeonbuk ranked tenth among twelve clubs after winning only three out of ten matches. On 4 May 2023, he resigned, ending his 15-year association with Jeonbuk.[16]

On 3 May 2024, Kim was appointed manager of Vietnam's senior and under-23 national teams, following Philippe Troussier's departure.[17] He hired Choi Won-kwon as his assistant, and started building his team.[18] On 6 June, he made his debut as Vietnam's manager in a World Cup qualifier against the Philippines, ending their eight-match losing streak with a 3–2 victory.[19]

Between December 2024 and January 2025, Kim and Vietnam participated in the 2024 ASEAN Championship. He sent his team to the semi-finals by earning three wins and one draw in the group stage including wins over compatriots Ha Hyeok-jun and Shin Tae-yong, who managed Laos and Indonesia respectively.[20] He became Vietnam's third manager and the second Korean manager to win an ASEAN Championship title after defeating Thailand in both legs of the final.[21]
