Saudi Arabia take on South Korea in an international friendly at St. James' Park on Tuesday evening.
ေအာက္ကၾကိဳက္တဲ့Liveကိုနွိပ္ၾကည့္ပါ ပြဲခ်ိန္နီးမွၾကည့္ရပါမယ္
It is the first meeting between the two sides since October 2019, when they played out a 0-0 draw at the Baniyas Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Having won the European Championships as manager of Italy in 2021, Mancini is now tasked with turning around the Green Falcons' poor form, ahead of their first 2026 World Cup qualifier against Jordan in November.
Mancini's side have lost their last five matches in all competitions, crashing out of the Gulf Cup of Nations courtesy of a 2-1 loss against Oman back in January, following a 2-0 defeat against Iraq.
Saudi Arabia's poor form has continued into their friendly matches, losing 2-1 against Venezuela and Bolivia in March, before putting in a disappointing performance against Costa Rica at St. James' Park last time out.
In front of a crowd of less than 5000 people, the Green Falcons suffered a 3-1 defeat, recording just two shots on target in the entire match, and they will be hoping to bounce back with a victory at the home of Newcastle United on Tuesday night.
Much like their opponents, South Korea have struggled in a number of their recent friendlies, losing two and drawing three of their last five matches, following their round of 16 World Cup exit.
