Only nine wins in 21 games: Manci's adventure ends with Saudi Arabia. The managing board of the Saudi Football Federation has announced that it has reached agreement on the former trainer's farewell.
The 59-year-old, which had a $30m contract a year, was at the top of this team since August 2023.
Mancini led the Saudi national for 14 months, gathering only 9 victories in 21 official matches. Seven draw, five losses for Saudi Arabia.
In the Asia Cup, played in 2023, the national leader of it failed to realise its goals, eliminating in the 16th phase of South Korea.
Mancian resigned as Italy's coach after receiving the mad Arab offer, but things did not go as sports expected. His departure was accompanied by controversy and considered treason by Italian federation officials.
