Roberto Mancini spoke on Mario Balotelli in an interview with Football Italia: “I was sure – said the former coach of he would become a top player. He has great qualities, he must understand that he has the potential to become a world champion. He is a great person and as great player. When I went to Manchester City, I told the management to buy him. He needed to adapt to a new type of football, and many other things, especially the media. It seemed that everyone had something to say about him.”

Mancini also spoke on his future: “It is not easy for people who are used to working every day to stand still. At first it was beautiful, because it allowed me to have some free time. But then you start missing the daily work, but I could return soon. Let’s see what will happen.”
