The South Korean Football Association, which is under severe criticism after the disappointing participation in the 2026 World Cup and the controversy that followed, hired former Spain coach Robert Moreno to supervise the national team temporarily, according to what it announced on Tuesday.

Moreno, who was forced earlier this year to deny accusations of using artificial intelligence in preparing for matches during his time in Russia, will lead the national team in friendly matches during September and October.

South Korea will compete in the Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia between January 7 and February 5, and Moreno may be the coach of the team in the continental tournament, as the matter will depend on evaluating his performance, according to what the federation reported. (BeIN Sports)
