Balotelli: ‘Mourinho is great’

By Football Italia staff

Milan striker Mario Balotelli has released a message of support for sacked Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

Super Mario worked with the Coach when the pair were together at Inter, and though they famously had a rather tempestuous relationship, the 24-year-old has kind words to offer.

“Doesn't matter what you think or what you say Jose is a great manager,” Balotelli wrote on his Instagram page.

“He[’s] show[n] it already many times with different teams.”

Mourinho won the Scudetto in both his years in Italy, as well as leading the Nerazzurri to the Champions League and Coppa Italia in 2010.
