Mancini represented the last success for the Azzurri, winning the EURO 2020 trophy, but he walked away in August 2023, just weeks before crucial EURO 2024 qualifiers.
It was to take the role of Saudi Arabia national team manager, which lasted just 18 games until October 2024, and then became coach of Qatari club side Al-Sadd in November 2025.
His record for the Italy team from July 2018 to August 2023 was of 38 victories, 12 draws and only eight defeats.
They scored 126 goals and conceded 44.
