On Wednesday, Roberto Mancini was appointed as the new coach of the Saudi Arabia national team, just two weeks after resigning from his post as Italy manager. The Italian tactician has been given a two-year contract with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation.
Mancini, who has previously managed Manchester City and Inter Milan, is no stranger to success. He won three Serie A titles with Inter Milan and a Premier League title with Manchester City. He also led the Italian national team to the quarter-finals of the 2016 European Championship.
The appointment of Mancini comes at an interesting time for Saudi Arabian football. The country has recently invested heavily in the sport, including the construction of a new stadium and the signing of several high-profile players. Mancini will be tasked with leading the Saudi Arabian team to success in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Mancini’s appointment is seen as a positive step for the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, as it shows their commitment to developing their national team. The Italian manager is renowned for his tactical acumen and his ability to get the best out of his players. He will be expected to bring his winning mentality to the Saudi Arabian team and help them achieve success in the 2022 World Cup.
Mancini’s appointment is a major coup for the Saudi Arabian Football Federation and a sign of their ambition to become a major force in international football. With Mancini at the helm, they have a manager who knows how to win and will be looking to make an impact in Qatar next year.
