Bin Musaed said on the “X” platform: “Mancini is a great coach, and he has a more than excellent CV, but he... He will not add anything to our team, and being patient with him is a waste of time.”

He continued: “The national team needs a coach who has passion and ambition, and can win the respect and love of the players, and bring out all their potential, as well as Renard was working with the national team.”

He continued: "If we do not qualify for the World Cup, and the number of qualifiers from Asia is 8 + 1, then this is a disaster. I am not talking because of Japan's victory. It is clear that there is a gap between the coach and the players, and that the coach depends on his reputation and conduct." Personality and its history.”
