Lecce sacked coach Luca Gotti on Saturday after a poor run of results left them languishing in the Serie A relegation zone.

Lecce, 18th in the standings with nine points, drew 1-1 at home with 10th-placed Empoli on Friday, Reuters reported.

"Lecce announce that today Mr. Luca Gotti has been relieved of his duties as First Team coach," Lecce said in a statement on their website.

The 57-year-old Gotti, former coach of Udinese and Spezia, was appointed in March to replace Roberto D'Aversa with Lecce one point above the relegation zone and they finished the campaign 14th in the table.

The Speaker of the Arab Parliament, Mohammed Ahmed Al Yamahi, described the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup as receiving the highest rating in the history of the global event.
He hailed this achievement as a significant success for all Arabs in securing the opportunity to host major international events. Al Yamahi expressed confidence that Saudi Arabia would organize the tournament with exceptional excellence and capability, bringing pride and honor to the entire Arab world, the Saudi Press Agency said on Monday.
Al Yamahi emphasized in a statement that this new achievement adds to the Kingdom's record of accomplishments across various fields, including sports.
