Roberto Mancini has offered little explanation for his resignation as Italy coach yesterday.

The former Manchester City and Inter Milan coach has stepped down amid claims he's taking the Saudi Arabia national team job.

“Resigning as CT of the Nazionale was a personal decision of mine," Mancini wrote on his official Instagram account.

“I would like to thank Gabriele Gravina for the confidence he showed in me, as well as all members of the FIGC.

“I salute and thank all of my players as well as the fans, who have stood by me over the last five years. I will always hold the extraordinary victory at EURO 2020 close to my heart. It has been an honour."
