The Athletic network revealed the salary that Herve Renard will receive after returning to coach the Saudi national team again.
The Saudi Federation dismissed Italian coach Roberto Mancini due to poor results, and officially returned Renard to lead the “Green” last Saturday.
According to the report, Renard’s salary will be one of the largest in Asia and the Arab region, as he will receive 5 million euros annually with the Saudi national team, or 23.5 million Saudi riyals.
In the same context, it seems that the widespread news that the Saudi Federation granted 30 or 50 million euros to Mancini to compensate him for the dismissal, is baseless.
The Italian coach spoke to the Saudi media after the dismissal and said in clear terms that he had waived approximately 70% of the value of the penalty clause in his contract, which extended until the 2027 Asian Cup.
It remains to be noted that the Saudi national team is preparing to play two matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers during the international break next November in the group in which it occupies third place.
