Roberto Mancini is no longer the national football coach of Saudi Arabia. According to a statement on the Saudi national team’s official X account on Thursday, the association and the 59-year-old Italian have “mutually agreed” to terminate the contract. A new coach will therefore be announced in the next few days. Mancini only took over the office in August 2023. In 18 games he achieved seven wins, five draws and six defeats. The contract ran until 2027. His second term as national coach was significantly less successful than his first. Three years ago, Mancini led his home country Italy to the European Championship title in England.
