\n
Saudi Arabia head coach, Roberto Mancini, will be targeting the first win of his tenure when his side take on the Super Eagles in a friendly on Friday (today).<\/p>\n
Mancini took charge of the Green Falcons in March following the resignation of Herve Renard.<\/p>\n
The Asians lost 3-1 to Costa Rica in Mancini\u2019s first game in charge<\/p>\n
The second fixture also ended in a 1-0 defeat to South Korea.<\/p>\n
The clash against the Super Eagles will be another huge test for Mancini and his boys.<\/p>\n
They will come up against quality stars like Victor Osimhen, Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi and others.<\/p>\n
Both teams will do battle at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao.<\/p>\n
Kick-off is 5:00 pm Nigerian time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
