Roberto Moreno has little time to settle into his new role as coach of South Korea’s national football team. His debut is only about three weeks away, turning the early part of his tenure into a race against the clock.
The schedule has already been set. South Korea will open against Ecuador at Suwon World Cup Stadium on Sept. 24, the first day of the Chuseok holiday. Four days later, on Sept. 28, the team will play Uruguay at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
The itinerary continues into October, leaving Moreno a narrow window before a series of matches that could shape the beginning of his time in charge.
