Despite the constant transfer rumors linking him with the Italy coaching role, Mancini wanted to dedicate a final thought to his former players and the Qatar national team competing in the World Cup. The coach emphasised the human value of the group he met during his time abroad, demonstrating once again his ability to create strong bonds within the locker room.
Mancini then added: “Thank you to my fantastic players, both on and off the pitch, and for always giving everything for the team. And finally, good luck to the Qatar national team, who today begins their journey to the World Cup. Thank you so much, you will always be in my heart.”
