World Cup-bound Saudi Arabia has hired Juan Antonio Pizzi as coach less than a week after firing Edgardo Bauza. Pizzi, Saudi Arabia's third coach in 2017, is expected to represent the country on Friday in Moscow at the draw for next year's World Cup. Pizzi guided Chile to the 2016 Copa America title but quit after the Chilean team failed to qualify for the World Cup. Bauza was fired by Saudi Arabia after only five friendlies in charge, following losses to Portugal and Bulgaria. He lost the Argentina job in April, after eight months in charge, when the two-time World Cup champions risked missing out on qualification.
