The Italian was appointed in August 2023 and penned a four-year deal worth around £77m.
After just seven wins in 18 games, however, Mancini has been given his marching orders.
Based on his annual salary, the former Manchester City boss is still in line to be paid more than £60m before what would have been the conclusion of his deal in 2027.
This is working on the basis the remainder of his contract will be paid in full.
He had been the highest-paid manager in the world in the position, reportedly pocketing £21.5m a year as Saudi boss.
This equates to £1.79m per month, £413,000 per week, £59,000 per day and £41 per minute.
Mancini has left Saudi Arabia third in their World Cup qualifying group.

In addition to frustration among supporters, Mancini is also claimed to have fallen out with members of his playing squad by reports in Italy.
Following the Bahrain match, the Euro 2020 winner brutally slammed his squad.
He said: “Sometimes I think the players have to take the responsibility.
“In my life, when I was a player, I took the responsibility because it’s easy to say it’s the coach’s fault. It’s too easy.
“But many times it’s not like this. Because when the coach teaches the team everything and they have improved as a team, after, some players have to put on the pitch some quality.
“If they don’t have it, it’s clear that it’s difficult.”
Mancini has enjoyed a decorated career in management.
He is best known in England for winning the Premier League with Man City in 2012, while he also masterminded Italy’s Euro 2020 final victory over the Three Lions three years ago.
During his career, the fiery boss has also taken charge of Fiorentina, Lazio, Inter Milan, Galatasaray and Zenit Saint Petersburg.
