Korean national football team manager Huh Jung-moo is among the nominees for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) manager of the year award, the AFC announced Tuesday.

The nomination comes after Huh led his side to its 27th consecutive game without a loss in a scoreless draw against Denmark, Saturday.

The AFC made the announcement to the Korea Football Association (KFA). Ki Sung-yueng of FC Seoul was also nominated.

The 54-year-old Huh also led his boys to their seventh straight qualification for the World Cup tournament this year.

Four managers of South Korean teams have won the award, which has honored the continent's best boss since 1994.

Park Jong-hwan of Ilhwa Chunma - a predecessor of Seongnam Chunma - won the prize in 1995 and national team managers Cha Bum-kun and Dutchman Guus Hiddink won the award in 1997 and 2002, respectively.

Cha Kyung-bok of Seongam Chunma was the last Korean winner, taking the prize in 2003.

Huh would become the sixth Korean to win a major AFC award; Lee Chun-soo of Al-Nasr grabbed the player of the year award in 2002 while Park Chu-young, now with AS Monaco, won the award in 2005.

AFC Champions League winners Pohang Steelers were also nominated for the club of the year award.

The AFC will announce the award winners next Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

허정무 AFC 감독 후보

한국 국가대표 축구팀 감독 허정무가 아시아축구연맹 (AFC)의 올해의 감독상 후보에 올랐다.

허감독은 토요일 덴마크와의 경기를 무승부로 이끌어 27게임 연속 무패 기록을 세웠다.

FC서울의 기성용도 올해의 청소년 선수 후보에 올랐다.

지난 1994년 이래 아시아 최우수 감독을 선정하는 이 상을 수상한 한국팀 감독은 4명이었다. 성남 천마의 전신 일화 천마의 박종환이 1995년, 국가대표감독을 역임한 차범근과 구스 히딩크가 각각 1997년과 2002년 이 상을 받았다.

가장 최근에 감독상을 받은 사람은 2003년의 성남 천무 차경복 감독이었다.

2002년에는 현재 알 나스르에 있는 이천수가 올해의 선수상을 받았고, 2005년에는 AS 모나코의 박주영이 이 상을 받았다.

AFC 챔피언스 리그 우승팀인 포항 스틸러스도 올해의 클럽상 후보에 올랐다.

AFC는 다음 주 화요일 말레이시아 쿠알라룸프에서 수상자를 발표한다.
