The Saudi Arabian Football Federation announced the extension, which will see Pizzi in charge till the end of the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019, on Tuesday. 

Saudi Arabia snatched a late 2-1 victory over Egypt in their final 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Group A match on Monday.


It was a remarkable end for the West Asians as they rebounded strongly after suffering a 5-0 defeat to Russia in their opening match. 

That was followed by a steely performance against Uruguay, which Saudi Arabia were unlucky to lose 1-0.  

Pizzi, a former Spain striker, was appointed Saudi Arabia head coach in November 2017.
