Roberto Mancini set to be sacked as Saudi Arabia head coach
Italian coach Roberto Mancini is reportedly set to be dismissed as head coach of Saudi Arabia's national football team in the near future.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the decision comes in response to poor results and deteriorating relationships between Mancini and the squad.
Potential replacements include former Al-Hilal coach Ramón Díaz and Hervé Renard, who previously led the Saudi national team from 2019 to 2023.
Mancini took charge of Saudi Arabia's team in August last year after leaving the Italian national side. Under his leadership, Saudi Arabia has managed just one win in their last four matches during the 2026 World Cup Asian qualifiers.
