Mancini dumped Italy for Saudi millions

The Italian press quickly understood the reasons for Roberto Mancini’s sudden resignation. The transalpine technician will become the next coach of Saudi Arabia.

At 10 months from Euro 2024, and while the qualification of the Nazionale is far from certain, Roberto Mancini resigned on Sunday from his position as coach of Italy, causing a certain amazement among the Italian media.

La Gazzetta dello Sport indicates on Monday that the 58-year-old technician should soon commit to Saudi Arabia, with a contract until 2026. The Euro 2020 winning coach should receive a gigantic salary, estimated at 40 million euros per year.
