Robert Moreno entered the world of Korean football unexpectedly. After impressing officials during his job interview following the World Cup disaster, he was given a contract until the end of November, covering six games.

Moreno's tactical approach during the games showed promise, suggesting a departure from the perceived passiveness of his predecessor, Hong Myung-bo, during the World Cup. However, only two matches remain, set to take place in Qatar due to security concerns in Saudi Arabia.
The next clashes will pit the Taeguk Warriors against Saudi Arabia on November 13th and then Qatar on November 17th.
