RIYADH (SAUDI ARABIA) (ITALPRESS) – Roberto Mancini is no longer the technical commissioner of Saudi Arabia. The Federation has, in fact, confirmed that it has reached an agreement with the Italian coach which provides for the termination of his contract as coach of the Saudi national football team. Saff (Saudi Arabia Football Federation) announced in a statement: “The Board of Directors of the Football Federation has today reached an agreement which provides for the mutual termination of the contractual relationship. The Federation thanks coach Roberto Mancini, and wishes him much success in his career. The Board of Directors confirms that the name of the next team coach will be announced in the coming days after the official and final conclusion of the contract procedure.”
Roberto Mancini began his adventure with Saudi Arabia in August 2023, about two weeks after he resigned as coach of the Italian national team which he took to the top of Europe in 2021, but failed to qualify for the World Cup 2024 after the divorce with the FIGC, the signing of a multi-million dollar contract (we are talking about 25 million per season) with Saudi Arabia, but many difficulties in doing the work between unsatisfactory results and misunderstandings with the players and the press. With Mancini as coach, Saudi Arabia have not progressed beyond the round of 16 of the Asian Cup and are struggling to qualify for the World Cup. The “Mancio” was heavily criticized (even by the federal president) after the home draw with Bahrain, the last of his 21 matches as a coach with a record of 9 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats.
