Saudi Arabia has announced former italy coach, Roberto Mancini as thier new national team manager.

The former Inter and Manchester City boss is scheduled to arrive Riyadh on Monday to attend a presentation event and sign a four-year contract worth €25 million ($27 million) net per annum.

“I made history in Europe, now is time to make history with Saudi”. Roberto Mancini said in a video posted on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

Saudi Arabia were knocked out in the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar last year, but only after pulling off one of the biggest shocks in the tournament’s history when they beat eventual champions Argentina in their first game.

With the arrival of the vastly experienced Mancini, the team will attempt to win their fourth Asian Cup title at the continental championship to be held in Qatar early next year.
