AFC Asian Cup
Korea Republic will compete in the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027™ which runs from January 7 to February 5, with KFA saying Moreno could lead the team "subject to an evaluation" of his performance.
The team have been without a head coach since Hong Myung-bo quit following their shock group-stage exit from the FIFA World Cup 2026 in June.
Moreno will lead Korea Republic for home friendlies against Ecuador and Uruguay in September and Venezuela and Uzbekistan in October.
He would also be in charge if KFA organises more friendlies during the November international window.
The KFA said the 48-year-old had been hired after "an open recruitment process". He will become the first Spaniard head coach for Korea Republic.
Moreno took over the Spanish national team on a temporary basis in 2019 from Luis Enrique.
He was appointed full-time in June that year after the departure of Enrique.
