New coach won’t use AI in bid to make South Korean fans happy
Robert Moreno, who was forced to deny earlier this year that he used ChatGPT to prepare for games, will be in charge of friendly matches in the coming months.
South Korea's interim coach Robert Moreno has announced that he will not employ artificial intelligence in his efforts to please the country's enthusiastic fans. Addressing concerns following the team's disappointing World Cup performance and various controversies, Moreno pledged to put smiles back on the faces of South Korean supporters.
Former Spain coach Moreno, 48, expressed his desire to conduct his duties honestly and with the intention of delighting Korean football fans. He named captain Son Heung-min to his squad for four upcoming home friendly matches, aiming to regain the fans' goodwill. Moreno, the first Spaniard to lead South Korea, will manage the team in matches against Ecuador, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Uzbekistan in September and October.
This move comes after Hong Myung-bo's sudden departure following South Korea's early exit from the World Cup, which intensified public outrage and raised doubts about Hong's hiring process. Police conducted raids at the KFA headquarters amid an investigation into Hong's appointment. Moreno specifically included Son Heung-min in his first squad alongside Atletico Madrid's Lee Kang-in and Bayern Munich's Kim Min-jae, highlighting Son's adaptability.
Moreno also clarified that he had never used AI, including ChatGPT, in his coaching, despite recent allegations.
