Supporters are attacking him on social networks and, as if that were not enough, the criticism is harsh from the president of the Football Federation who has expressed all his dissatisfaction, not only with yesterday's draw against Bahrain , but more generally in the face of the team's progress in the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. According to the local press, notably for Al Jazeera Sports Network, this is why Roberto Mancini's bench is very threatened and his dismissal would be close. Yesterday Mancio defended his work, spoke of bad luck and uninspired attackers (his Arabia also missed a penalty), while today he would have avoided questions about his possible dismissal as reported by the newspaper Al-Eqtisadiah . “I don't know anything, I haven't been told anything and it's not up to me to decide”, words attributed to the Italian coach. The former Italian coach, after his sudden resignation around August 15, 2023, signed a rich contract that binds him to the Saudi Football Federation until 2027, but the results do not prove him right. According to the local press, the Federation has already chosen Mancio's replacement, namely Al-Hazem coach Saleh Al-Muhammadi.
