Interim head coach Robert Moreno aims to instill pride in the Korean national football team. The Spanish tactician, along with his coaching staff, arrived in Korea a dozen days after the Korea Football Association (KFA) announced his appointment on an interim basis. Moreno and his coaches will guide the team through their next six international friendlies, as well as any additional matches the KFA may schedule in November.
Korea will host matches against Ecuador on September 24, Uruguay on September 28, Venezuela on October 2, and Uzbekistan on October 6. Following the resignation of head coach Hong Myung-bo in June to assume responsibility for Korea's World Cup group-stage exit, the KFA decided against rushing to hire a full-time replacement, opting instead for someone to temporarily lead the team.
Moreno, a 48-year-old veteran with experience coaching the Spanish national team and serving as an assistant for FC Barcelona, was selected for the role.
