Roberto Mancini Turns Down Qatar Offer, Keeps Focus on European Return
Roberto Mancini has declined an opportunity to coach Al Sadd, a club in the Qatar Stars League, despite earlier reports suggesting he was close to accepting the role. The former Italy national team coach is instead prioritizing a return to European football and is waiting for an offer that aligns with his ambitions and experience.
Mancini has been without a team since parting ways with Saudi Arabia’s national squad, a decision made after a difficult run of results during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. His departure came just over a year after he shocked the football world by resigning from the Italian national team, where he had previously guided the Azzurri to major success.
Since then, Mancini’s name has been linked to several clubs in Italy. There were suggestions that Juventus considered him for their managerial position before ultimately hiring Luciano Spalletti. His profile continues to attract interest in Serie A due to his tactical background and experience at both club and international levels.
He has also been observed attending matches in Italy, including a recent Champions League fixture involving Atalanta. This has fueled speculation that he could be a candidate there should a coaching change occur. For now, Mancini appears committed to waiting for the right project in Europe rather than pursuing opportunities elsewhere.
