Mancini, who led Italy to its most recent success by winning UEFA Euro 2020, had signed a contract with the Qatari side until 2027 after an unsuccessful spell with the Saudi national team.
Mancini fuels Italy rumours after leaving Al Sadd
Head coach Roberto Mancini has left Al Sadd, the Qatar Stars League champion, with the 61-year-old coach widely expected to return to the Italy national team.
Mancini is now the favourite to coach Italy, with the four-time world champion seeking to regain momentum after failing to qualify for a third successive FIFA World Cup.
In April, Gennaro Gattuso left the job of Italy coach after a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina and the team has since been led by Silvio Baldini, who stepped up from Italy Under-21 to fill the gap.
Despite winning the QSL, Al Sadd failed to reach the final four of the AFC Champions League Elite and lost in the Qatar Cup final.
