Mancini is claiming 25 million, while Saudi Arabia has already found his replacement

Against the backdrop of disagreements and unsatisfactory results, Italian coach Roberto Mancini seems to be concluding his time as head coach of the Saudi Arabian national team.

Details: After disappointments on the field and conflicts off it, Mancini and his team are ready to leave Saudi Arabia. Zinedine Zidane is being considered as his potential successor.

According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, just a week ago, after the defeat to Japan, the federation still supported the coach. However, a draw with Bahrain, not the strongest opponent, changed the situation.

Reminder: The situation was further complicated by a confrontation with a fan, to which Mancini responded with a rude insult. As a result, it became clear that the Italian's departure was inevitable, and negotiations for the termination of his contract are already underway. Notably, under the terms of the contract, the former coach of the Italian national team could receive 25 million euros from the Saudi Football Federation.
