The Saudi bench has been rather troublesome of late, as Bert van Marwijk took them to their first World Cup qualification in 12 years.
He was nonetheless fired in September, reportedly for failing to move his permanent residence.
Bauza was hired and sensationally sacked this week after just two months in charge.
The former Argentina Coach oversaw five friendlies, which resulted in two wins and three defeats.
