Roberto Mancini has left his role as head coach of Saudi Arabia just three weeks before a vital 2026 World Cup qualifier against Australia, after an underwhelming tenure.
The Saudi Arabian Football Federation announced that Mancini's departure was by joint agreement, following a disappointing period that included seven wins in 18 matches.
Saudi Arabia, under Mancini's management, struggled in World Cup qualifiers, currently sitting third in Group C after recent defeats, complicating their path to the tournament.
Mancini faced significant criticism, particularly after an early tunnel exit during a penalty shootout loss to South Korea in the Asian Cup earlier this year.
