Hicks with Bahrain shakes Mancini's chair in Saudi Arabia  - 1

After Saudi Arabia's draw with Bahrain (0:0), Roberto Mancini's position as the coach of the Saudis is seriously threatened, informs the newspaper "Gadzeta dello Sport", quoted by BTA.

The team is third in their World Cup qualifying group, 5 points behind leaders Australia.

"We have to apologize to the supporters who support us. This is an unacceptable situation, we have won two points in our last three home games. We will make a decision", said the president of the football federation, Yasser Al Misehal.

Part of the fans of Saudi Arabia have already demanded the resignation of the Italian specialist Mancini, who made the Squadra Anzura European champions 3 years ago.

Roberto Mancini has a contract with the Saudi Arabian federation until 2027, receiving 18 million dollars a year plus another 6 million in the form of various bonuses.
