Career

Moreno was born in Barcelona in 1972. He played as a right-back for FC Barcelona for 17 years for all categories. He was part of the first team FC Barcelona under Johan Cruyff during the 1994 UEFA Champions League Final. From 1995 to 1996 he signed for UD Almería.[1] He rejoined FC Barcelona in 1997. He retired a year later due to a knee injury.

Coaching

In 2014, Moreno coached Madagascar's youth teams. He also won the 2014 Champion Clubs' Cup Indian Ocean with CNaPS Sports club from Madagascar. In 2016, he coached the Bangladesh national football team. Former Bangladeshi player and Bangladesh Football Federation president Kazi Salahuddin said he was impressed with his long career in FC Barcelona since the age of eight.[2] He was taught by former Dutch legend Johan Cruyff and played with stars like Luis Figo and Pep Guardiola. Moreno also coached the Bangladesh's under-23 team with Satyajit Das Rupu.[3] He achieved a bronze medal for Bangladesh at the 2016 South Asian Games.

He holds the UEFA A-license and is currently coaching for FC Barcelona Academy PRO, New York, US.

2018 FIFA World Cup qualification

Moreno's Bangladeshi team lost against the Jordan under Harry Redknapp.[4] However, the Bangladeshi team had ten players sanctioned, so he had to take a team full of substitutes.

Reappointment and replacement

Moreno was appointed again to train with the team and was replaced later by Andrew Ord.

gollark: øøøø.
gollark: I'm sure you'd like me to think that you'd like us to think so.
gollark: Also use of most of this (https://github.com/satwikkansal/wtfpython) and the mildly exotic features like decorators.
gollark: If I were to enter this I may deliberately write my programs in the most stupid and ridiculous way possible (or at least I find it favorable to claim that now maybe), such as by, for example, using preprepared pickle streams for arbitrary code execution, doing everything in one line, horrible overuse of `exec`/`eval`, using that thing where python will execute code from a ZIP concatted onto an image, downloading data from pastebin or whatever, blatantly ignoring all available Python style guides, or mucking with the AST module and importlib to transform the code into other stuff.
gollark: Iterator functions vs for loops, classes versus namedtuples and dataclasses and whatever else, APLish array programming type solutions versus... not that?
