Italy's coach has promised to get a Mario Balotelli-style ‘mohican’ if his team win the next World Cup.

Cesare Prandelli welcomed the return of the former Manchester City striker after he scored twice on his AC Milan debut and said: “I’m happy that Balotelli is back – he looked calm and motivated.”

Italy face Holland in a friendly tomorrow, and Prandelli added: “It’s an advantage for us that Balotelli can work alongside fellow Milan striker Stephan El Shaarawy on a daily basis. They have enormous potential.

“If we win the World Cup in Brazil then I’ll get a mohican like theirs.”
