Italian coach Roberto Mancini has been dismissed from his position with the Saudi Arabian national team one year after his appointment. This news comes from publications including La Gazzetta dello Sport and Calcio e Finanza.
The dismissal is attributed to unsatisfactory results from the team in recent matches. The Saudis scored only one victory in their last five games, and during their most recent match against Bahrain, Mancini reportedly shouted insults at fans of his own team.
Mancini is expected to receive a compensation package ranging from 25 to 30 million euros. An official announcement regarding his termination is anticipated today.
