ROBERTO MANCINI has been appointed as the new Saudi Arabia national team coach.
Four-year contract worth around €30m-a-season, making him the highest-paid football coach in the world.
Manchini’s appointment is coming barely two weeks after the European Championship-winning manager surprisingly left his job in charge of Italy.
The Saudi Arabian soccer federation (SAFF) said the Italian has been given a four-year contract.
