Robert Moreno, accused of leaning on artificial intelligence during his time at Russian club Sochi, has been appointed South Korea's interim manager. He replaces Hong Myung-bo, who was dismissed after the 2026 World Cup, yet the failures of the past continue to follow him. Answering the accusations, the Spaniard is categorical: "I have never used any AI tool to prepare for matches, decide starting lineups, or select players. That is completely untrue." Doubts remain. The federation trusts his data analysis and tactical grasp, but the setbacks at Monaco and Granada still give supporters real cause for concern. In that uncertain climate, the 49-year-old has been given only until 27 November and six fixtures in charge. Ultimately, this short-term audition will decide whether Moreno can repair a damaged reputation and carry the journey on towards the Asian Cup.
