Spanish tactician Robert Moreno, who recently took over as the interim boss of the Korean men's national football team, has pledged to bring forth hard work, frankness, and respect in his new role. Moreno, who previously led the Spanish national team as well as coached FC Barcelona and AS Roma, was appointed as a temporary head coach by the Korea Football Association (KFA) on Tuesday.
He will manage the upcoming six matches for the Taegeuk Warriors, including encounters with Ecuador, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Uzbekistan. The KFA is also attempting to arrange two additional matches in November.
The caretaker manager position was chosen by the KFA for these six games following Hong Myung-bo's departure from the team due to their group-stage elimination in the FIFA World Cup in June. After the friendly matches, Korea will participate in the Asian Football Confederation Asian Cup in January in Saudi Arabia. While Moreno's contract is set to run until November 27, the KFA has indicated that he may have the opportunity to continue with the team beyond that date.
