Former head coach of the Saudi Arabian national team Roberto Mancini explained why he decided to leave the position of national team coach.
— There are many competent people working in Saudi Arabia. But the problem is that the national team lacks enough experience to play higher quality football.

It was previously reported that Hervé Renard would be invited to take the position of head coach of the Saudi Arabian national team, having already worked with the team from 2019 to 2023.
