OREANDA-NEWS  ChatGPT helped Spaniard Robert Moreno coach the Russian football club Sochi. About this in an interview Sports.ru Andrey Orlov, the former deputy general director of the team, told us.

According to Orlov, at first Moreno seemed to Sochi employees and managers to be a great professional. However, then the Spaniard tried to lead the team out of the crisis using ChatGPT.

So, before the away match of the First League with Khabarovsk SKA, Moreno built a preparation plan with the help of a chatbot. According to his recommendations, the Sochi football players had to stay awake for 28 hours in a row. "I asked: "Robert, everything is fine, but when will the guys sleep?" Moreno introduced new parameters, and the presentation was updated. As a result, we went according to the schedule set by ChatGPT," Orlov recalled.

In addition, Orlov told how the head coach tried to decide which player to sign a contract with using a chatbot. ChatGPT advised to choose Kazakhstani Artur Shushenachev, who subsequently did not play in the team.

Moreno headed Sochi from December 2023 to August 2025. Under his leadership, the team first left the Russian Premier League, but then returned to the top division. After the start of the current season, Sochi, which occupied the last place in the standings, terminated the contract with the coach.
