This kind of thing interests me, but I'm not too sure why  Anyway, to kick things off: Aurelian Cosmin Olaroiu (Romanian, formerly of Suwon) is currently manager of FC National Bucharest, where Gabriel Popescu is on loan at. Slavisa Mitrovic, who joined Suwon at the same time as Popescu, is also at National. Pavel Badea (Romanian, Suwon) has just stepped down as president of Romanian side Universitatea Craiova. Duda (Brazilian, Anyang & Suwon) is currently banging them in for Brazilian side Coritiba. Zoltan Sabo (Serbia & Montenegro, Suwon) was playing for AEK Larnaca during the 2003/04 season, but I'm not sure if he's still there now. Sasa Drakulic (Serbia & Montenegro, Busan, Suwon & Seongnam) is at the club now. Alen Avdic (Bosnia, Suwon) spent 3 years in the Suwon reserves and then joined German 3rd division side Chemnitzer. Lucky Isibor (Nigeria, Suwon) signed a 5 year contract with Dynamo Kiev in 2001 after playing for Spartak Moscow and FC Zurich. ------------------- That's enough ex-Suwon nonsense for now... |

Jukka Koskinen (Finnish, Anyang) is playing for FC Lahti in Finland these days, interestingly enough coached by ex-Motherwell manager Harri Kampman.
Zanko Savov (Macedonian, Cheonbuk) is, I believe, manager of Macedonian side Cementarnica Skopje.
Rade Bogdanovic (Serbia & Montenegro, Pohang) really went up in the world after leaving the Steelyard; he found his way to JEF United, Athletico Madrid, Werder Bremen and Arminia Bielefeld.
Interesting news about Michel Pensee Bilong (Cameroonian, Seongnam) from when he left Seongnam:
"South Korean Police have questioned Promising Cameroonian soccer star, Pensee Bilong Michel now with the Portuguese side Aves, for missing club funds totalling $5,741 dollars when the player left in March."
Oooops...

Michel was arrested here just before the World Cup when Cameroon dropped in to play a friendly on their way to Japan. Then the whole thing was let slide when people realised it didn't chime too well with "Korea Welcomes the World." Michel also claimed he was owed a lot of back wages.

Neil Tarrant is with Raufoss in the Norwegian 2nd division. They're not very good.
Neither was he.

Er, don't know if this is the same guy Cho Kwang-rae signed as a striker a couple of years ago, but by the way he played, it should be. ;D |

Another name to add to the list, Sasa Milaimovic (Croatia, Pohang) joined Hamilton Thunder in the Canadian Professional league after leaving Korea in 2001 and is still playing for them.
Mario Ivankovic (Croatia, Suwon) was playing for Nejmeh Sporting Club in Lebanon during 2003/04.

Good old Sasa - his crowning moment in the K-League came when he came back from an injury that had kept him out for a couple of months, scored a goal, celebrated with a backflip...and busted his achilles. |

Pavel Badea has taken the managers job at Universitatea Craiova.
Two former Suwon players managing in Romania now... and Olaroiu's FC National (inspired by Gabriel Popescu) are storming away at the top of the league.
I've just realised that Suwon have had at least one Romanian player on the books in every year of their existence - please please bring back Popescu for 2005, Cha.
