News summary

Roberto Mancini has parted ways with the Saudi Arabian national soccer team, ending his contract after just 14 months due to a series of disappointing results. The Saudi Football Federation announced the mutual agreement on Thursday, following the team's poor performance, including a recent home defeat to Japan and a draw against Bahrain in World Cup qualifiers. Mancini's tenure saw the team finish with seven wins, six losses, and five draws, failing to advance past the Asian Cup's last 16. The Saudis currently sit third in Group C of Asia's World Cup qualifiers, five points behind leaders Japan. The federation is expected to announce a new coach soon as they aim for better results in the upcoming matches. Mancini, who previously led Italy to Euro 2020 victory, faced criticism for his management style and the team's lack of success.
