Robert Moreno, the temporary head coach of the Korean men's national football team, expressed his intention to make people proud of the team on Sunday. He and his staff arrived in Korea a dozen days after the Korea Football Association (KFA) announced their interim appointment on September 13. Moreno and his coaching staff will oversee the team's next six international friendlies, with matches scheduled against Ecuador on September 24, Uruguay on September 28, Venezuela on October 2, and Uzbekistan on October 6.
The KFA delayed hiring a full-time replacement following Hong Myung-bo's resignation at the end of June due to the team's group-stage exit at the FIFA World Cup. Moreno, a 48-year-old Spanish tactician with a history of coaching experience, including leading the Spanish men's national team and serving as an assistant for FC Barcelona, was chosen for his temporary role. The KFA is also seeking to schedule two additional matches in November.
