Roberto Mancini clinched the Qatari league title with Al Sadd and marked the triumph on the pitch by waving the Italian flag, a nod to the UEFA Euro 2020 success he achieved with Italy.
Al Sadd claimed the title with a 3-2 victory over Al Shamal in a battle between the top two teams in the league table, thanks to goals from Firmino, Paulo Otávio, and Akram Afif.
The trophy with Al Sadd means Mancini has now won league titles in Italy, England, Turkey and Qatar.

The former Azzurri coach celebrated his latest achievement on the field by holding an Italian flag inscribed with ‘Euro 2020.’
Mancini won the Euros with Italy in 2021, but also failed to qualify for the World Cup the following year.
He stepped down as the Italy coach in August 2023 and was appointed by the Saudi Arabia national team a few weeks later.
