Two Korean coaches are joining the national football team's coaching staff under interim head coach Moreno.
The Korea Football Association said on the 10th that it had appointed staff coach Cho Yong-hyung and physical coach Lee Jae-hong to the men's national team coaching staff.
The appointments followed a meeting with Moreno's staff overseas, after which the need for Korean personnel in running the team was raised. The move was finalized after a review by the association's technical committee.
Cho will work in the field coaching unit led by coach Do Campo. He is expected to serve as a communication channel between the foreign coaching staff, the players and the players' respective clubs.
Lee will join the physical performance unit headed by physical coach Chocarro. With K League players and those based overseas following different match schedules, he will support individual conditioning and fitness management.
Cho is a former national team defender who played at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar. He has served as a staff coach for the Korea Football Association since 2022.
Lee has long overseen fitness management for national teams at various age levels within the association. He has also worked as a physical coach at FC Seoul and with the Indonesian national team.
Both will remain on the coaching staff for the duration of Moreno's contract.
Moreno is scheduled to arrive at Incheon International Airport on the 13th. He will then hold an official press conference on the 14th to announce the national team squad.
