Former Saudi coach criticizes Mancini after loss

The Italy vs. Belgium match in the UEFA Nations League resulted in a 0-2 defeat for the Italian national team on home soil, marking Roberto Mancini's first game back as coach. The Belgian team’s goals were scored by Mika Godts and Dodi Lukebakio. After the match, a sarcastic comment from former player Salman Al-Faraj on his Snapchat account expressed surprise at Mancini’s performance and criticisms, suggesting that Belgium "wiped out" Italy’s performance—an allusion to an old rivalry between the two sides. It is worth noting that the conflict between them began when Mancini claimed that Al-Faraj refused to participate in friendly matches, a statement the player denied, calling for an investigation. Al-Faraj confirmed he took part in two friendlies before missing the camp. This match and the ongoing disagreements reflect a difficult start for Mancini’s return as Italy’s coach after his previous successful stint, which included winning the UEFA European Championship in 2020. Prior to the loss to Belgium, he faced criticism and issues with players.
