Coaching

Former Bangladeshi player and Bangladesh Football Federation president Kazi Salahuddin originally said he wasn't impressed with his coaching experience but he said he showed interest because he joined FC Barcelona academy at the age of eight and knows the prodecure of youth development. Moreno said he can impress because he had playing experiences with stars like Luis Figo and Pep Guardiola and that would be an advantage in his coaching. He also said he has a UEFA A-license and was taught by former Dutch legend Johan Cruyff. Moreno has coached Madagascar's youth teams. He is also the manager of Bangladesh's under-23 team with Satyajit Das Rupu. He achieved a bronze medal for Bangladesh at the 2016 South Asian Games.
