Interim South Korea coach Moreno denies using AI to prepare for games while naming first roster

Robert Moreno denied using artificial intelligence in past jobs as he named 12 K League players in a 30-man squad for upcoming friendlies.

  • On Monday, interim South Korea coach Robert Moreno announced his 30-man squad for upcoming friendlies at Korea Football Park in Cheonan, featuring 12 domestic K League players—a larger-than-usual share for the national team.
  • This selection follows the resignation of Hong Myung-bo after South Korea's group-stage exit at this year's FIFA World Cup, amid Korea Football Association hiring and leadership controversies.
  • The roster features captain Son Heung-min of Los Angeles Football Club, Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae, and Atletico Madrid midfielder Lee Kang-in, with Incheon United defender Kim Geon-hui receiving a first call-up.
  • Addressing past allegations, the 48-year-old Spaniard denied relying on artificial intelligence to prepare for games, calling reports "a piece of news that is completely false and went viral."
  • Moreno will lead the squad against Ecuador on September 24 and Uruguay on September 28, with further matches against Venezuela and Uzbekistan in October, subject to an Asian Cup evaluation.
