Professional football manager sacked after 'using ChatGPT to make major decisions'

  • Robert Moreno denied using ChatGPT for game preparation while at FC Sochi, stating, "I have never used ChatGPT or any AI to prepare matches, decide line-ups, or choose players."
  • Moreno explained that he made all decisions with his coaching staff, saying that technology only helped process information faster.
  • He attributed the claims about using ChatGPT to former club executive Andrei Orlov, stating, "To present it as being 'fired for using ChatGPT' simplifies something much more complex and is also untrue."
  • Moreno's departure in September 2025 was due to inconsistent results and mutual agreement, not related to the use of ChatGPT.
