The voices from Riyadh are becoming increasingly more confident: the agreement with the Asian national team would be imminent.
Rumours from Arabia are insisting that Roberto Mancini is set to become the new coach of the National team. It could be a matter of days, then the new head coach will be announced along with his staff.
There is talk of a lucrative contract worth 25-30 million euros per year, deal valid until the World Cup in 2026, which, however, is not the primary goal. There will be an immediate focus on the Asian Cup in Qatar, a tournament that the Saudis have won three times but not since 1996.
