Saudi Arabia fired its second coach this month after closing a disappointing Asian Cup with a 5-0 loss to Japan.
The Saudi Press Agency says Nassir al-Johar was dismissed and will be replaced by a ''high-profile'' international coach.
Al-Johar had been brought in for his fifth stint with the team. He had replaced Portuguese coach Jose Pesiero, who was fired after an opening-round loss to Syria.
The poor results by the three-time champions also prompted King Abdullah to intervene Saturday and remove the country's soccer federation president, Prince Sultan bin Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
