Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is targeted to finish in the top two to automatically qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Currently or after going through four matches, Saudi Arabia sits in third place in Group C with five points, while the Indonesian national team is in fifth place with a collection of three points.
Sitting in third position with a collection of five points made the General Chair of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) furious. They also agreed to terminate their collaboration with the Italian coach, Roberto Mancini, on Friday, October 25 2024.
Roberto Mancini was replaced by French coach Herve Renard. This coach is not new to the Saudi Arabian National Team, having managed the Green Falcons squad - the nickname of the Saudi Arabian National Team - from 2019 to 2023.
Thanks to his contribution, Herve Renard brought the Saudi Arabian National Team to qualify for the 2022 World Cup as winners of the qualifying group, beating Argentina 2-1 on the first matchday of Group F of the 2022 World Cup.
The match against Australia on the fifth matchday of Group C on Thursday 14 November 2024 afternoon WIB will be Herve Renard's comeback match with Saudi Arabia. Five days later, he took the Saudi Arabian squad away to the headquarters of the Indonesian National Team.
