South Korea appoints Robert Moreno as interim head coach

South Korea’s football federation has named a Spanish manager as the nation’s interim head coach, stepping in after the team’s disappointing performance at the recent FIFA World Cup. The appointment follows a campaign in which South Korea failed to earn a point, losing all three group‑stage matches and exiting the tournament without advancing to the knockout round.

The newly appointed coach will assume responsibility for preparing the squad for upcoming Asian Cup qualifiers and will oversee a transitional period while the federation conducts a search for a permanent manager. Federation officials indicated that the interim tenure is intended to stabilize the team, implement tactical adjustments, and restore confidence ahead of the next competitive cycle.
