Spanish coach Roberto Moreno, 48, will take charge as the interim head coach of the national football team for six A-matches in the second half of the year.

The Korea Football Association (KFA) held a board meeting today (September 1) at the Korea Football Center in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province, and approved the appointment of Moreno as the interim head coach.

Moreno will fill the vacancy left by former head coach Hong Myung-bo, who stepped down following the team's elimination in the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup North America.

He will lead the team for six A-matches, including four games in September and October, and two games in November.

Moreno served as the head coach of the Spanish national team in 2019, and subsequently managed Monaco, Granada, and most recently Russian club Sochi until last year.
