Roberto Moreno (49), the newly appointed head coach of the South Korean national football team, strongly denied rumors that he used artificial intelligence (AI) 'ChatGPT' to manage his squad during his tenure as head coach of Sochi in Russia.

On the afternoon of the 14th, Coach Moreno held a press conference at Cheonan Korea Football Park in South Chungcheong Province to announce the national team roster for the September and October A-matches (six consecutive games) and to mark his official appointment.

When asked about the rumors on that day, he dismissed them as "completely fake news," stating, "It has already been confirmed by both the club and the players that this is not true."

He continued, "Anyone who checks for just 10 minutes can see that this is a malicious lie completely out of context," expressing his bitterness over how the rumors spread indiscriminately.

The 'ChatGPT controversy' surrounding Coach Moreno refers to rumors that circulated when he was in charge of Sochi, a Russian professional football club, alleging that he relied excessively on ChatGPT for core coaching duties such as selecting starting lineups and managing the team. The claim gained traction through local media and social networking services at the time, sparking mocking criticism that "a professional coach handed over team command to AI."

Coach Moreno said, "Since technology played a role in my entry into football, it is correct to actively utilize technology in the sport," while cautioning against overinterpretation.

He added, "Fighting fake news today is extremely difficult," and noted that he has detailed the specific circumstances of that time and the background behind the fabrication on his personal website.

Coach Moreno stated, "I do not wish to dwell on secondary matters at length during this meaningful appointment press conference," emphasizing that "ultimately, what matters most is playing football properly and proving ourselves with good results." He reaffirmed his focus on fulfilling his core mission.

He further pledged, "Starting from the first call-up on the 21st, I will work closely with the players to clearly explain each player's strengths and our team's objectives."
