Roberto worked for the Italian national team for five years, won the Euro and did not qualify for the World Cup
Former mentor Italian national team Roberto Mancini officially became the head coach of the national team Saudi Arabia.
Negotiations on this position with the 58-year-old Italian specialist have been going on for a long time, at least since he left the post of head coach of the Italian national team (Ukraine’s opponent in the Euro 2024 qualification). Previously, Napoli invited him to the post of head coach.
Saudi Arabia is ranked 54th in the FIFA rankings. Italy is eighth there.
Roberto coached Squadra Azzurra for five years. With her, he won Euro 2020 and twice became the bronze medalist of the League of Nations. At the same time, under Mancini, the Italian team for the first time in history failed to qualify for the World Cup for the second time in a row.
The Italian national team is the rival of Ukraine in the selection for the European Championship 2024. Squadra Azzurra will play the next Euro qualifying matches on September 9 with North Macedonia and on September 12 with the team of Sergey Rebrov.
