Best paid (30 million euros per year) world coach Italian Roberto Mancini will soon try to achieve his first victory.

The specialist who took over the Saudi Arabian national team will lead his students into battle at the "St James Park" stadium against the Costa Rica team.

According to the Italian media, the strategist's debut will take place in an unusual environment.

Tickets for the upcoming friendly match in Newcastle are selling very slowly, and most likely the Arabs will play in front of empty stands.

The situation is not helped by the very low ticket prices, ranging from 3-5 pounds sterling.
