Among the featured artists are Ghanaian star Black Sherif, French-Malian singer Aya Nakamura, American R&B artist Leon Thomas, as well as Nigerian acts Mayorkun, FOLA, and Llona.

Davido first announced the album in June through a cinematic teaser inspired by Yoruba culture and royalty, revealing both the title and release date. The title ORIADÉ has since generated widespread conversation among fans, with many interpreting it as a celebration of heritage, identity and achievement.

The unveiling of the tracklist has further intensified excitement ahead of Friday’s release, with fans eagerly awaiting what could become another landmark project in Davido’s celebrated career. Having consistently delivered chart-topping albums and hit singles over the past decade and a half, the award-winning singer will be looking to add another successful chapter to his discography with ORIADÉ.

Roberto Mancini Appointed Italy Head Coach for Second Spell—-The Italian Football Federation has confirmed the return of Euro 2020-winning manager Roberto Mancini, who replaces Gennaro Gattuso as the Azzurri begin a new era following another World Cup qualification failure.

Roberto Mancini has been appointed as Italy’s new head coach for a second spell in charge, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) confirmed on Tuesday, marking the return of the manager who guided the Azzurri to UEFA Euro 2020 glory.

The 61-year-old replaces Gennaro Gattuso, who stepped down after Italy failed to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, extending the nation’s unprecedented run of missing three consecutive World Cup tournaments. FIGC President Giovanni Malagò confirmed Mancini’s appointment during a Federal Council meeting, describing him as the best candidate to lead the national team’s rebuild.

Mancini previously managed Italy between 2018 and 2023, transforming the national side after their failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. His greatest achievement came in 2021 when he led the Azzurri to the European Championship title, defeating England on penalties at Wembley. However, his first tenure was also overshadowed by Italy’s failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup before he resigned in 2023 to take charge of Saudi Arabia.

After leaving Saudi Arabia, Mancini spent time with Qatar’s Al-Sadd before becoming available for an international return. His reappointment follows a turbulent period within the federation after attempts to appoint Pep Guardiola and Andrea Pirlo both collapsed. Pirlo’s candidacy was abandoned following controversy surrounding his commercial ties to a Russian betting company, triggering the resignations of newly appointed FIGC technical director Paolo Maldini and adviser Leonardo.

As part of the federation’s restructuring, veteran coach Claudio Ranieri has been named Italy’s new technical director. The former Leicester City and Roma manager will oversee the country’s football development programme while working closely with Mancini as the federation seeks to restore the Azzurri to the summit of international football.

Mancini’s immediate priority will be rebuilding confidence within the national team ahead of the UEFA Nations League campaign and the qualification process for UEFA Euro 2028. Italy’s recent struggles have intensified calls for sweeping reforms, but federation officials believe the return of the Euro-winning coach offers the stability and experience needed to guide the four-time world champions back to the elite level of international football.

The appointment marks a remarkable return for one of Italy’s most successful modern managers. Having already delivered a major international trophy during his first spell, Mancini will now be tasked with restoring pride to the Azzurri and ensuring the national team never again endures the disappointment of missing football’s biggest tournament.
