Official: 60-year-old Mancini coaches Qatari team Al-Saad, with an annual salary reported to be 11 million euros

According to official news on November 13, the 60-year-old Italian coach Mancini has been appointed as the head coach of the Qatari team Al-Saad. It is reported that Mancini’s annual salary in Qatar is 11 million euros.

In August 2023, Mancini suddenly announced his resignation due to conflicts with the Italian Football Association. Subsequently, he accepted an invitation from the Saudi national team and signed a contract until 2027 with an annual salary of 25 million euros.

In the first four rounds of the Asian top 18 of the World Cup preliminaries, Saudi Arabia had 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 5 points, ranking third in the group. In addition, the Asian Cup failed to reach the top 16. Mancini was terminated by the Saudi Football Association in October last year. It is reported that the termination fee was as high as 30 million euros.

Since then, Mancini has been idle at home. At the end of last month, Mancini negotiated with Juventus, but because he refused a short-term contract, Juventus finally chose Spalletti.
