Spanish tactician Robert Moreno has been appointed as the interim head coach for the Korean men's national football team. In his new role, Moreno pledged to provide work, honesty, and respect. Moreno has previously led the Spanish national team and coached FC Barcelona and AS Roma. He was appointed by the Korea Football Association (KFA) on Tuesday and will oversee the next six matches for the Taegeuk Warriors.
These matches include facing Ecuador on September 24, Uruguay on September 28, Venezuela on October 2, and Uzbekistan on October 6. The KFA is also attempting to schedule two additional games in November. The caretaker manager position was chosen due to Hong Myung-bo stepping down following Korea's group-stage exit at the FIFA World Cup in June.
After the friendlies, Korea will participate in the Asian Football Confederation Asian Cup in January in Saudi Arabia. Moreno's contract extends until November 27, and the KFA indicated that he may remain in the position for the Asian Cup as well.
