The President of the Saudi Football Federation, Yasser Al-Meshal, confirmed that the Italian Roberto Mancini, the coach of the Green National Team, will remain in his position until the end of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
The Saudi national team lost 0-2 to its guest, the Japanese national team, on Thursday, in the third round of the third group of the decisive stage of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup scheduled in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Al-Meshal said in an interview with the media: “Thank you to the audience who attended and supported the team, and we apologize to them. We performed well, but the result is undoubtedly painful, and we have seven upcoming matches in which we will focus on achieving our goal, which is to qualify for the World Cup. We have closed the file for today’s match and are looking forward to what comes next.”
He added: “We were not bad against Japan, and we have a problem scoring goals, and the coach realizes that and you will see what satisfies you.” Just support us with your support and constructive criticism.”
