London, Jan 11 : Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has claimed that Roberto Mancini is a better manager than Jose Mourinho. The 21-year old striker has worked under both men, first Mancini at Inter Milan, then Mourinho at Milan itself and now he is again working under Mancini at Manchester City. Although Balotelli expressed his gratitude towards both men for pushing him forward but when asked to select the better among both of them, he opted for Mancini whom he believes treats him like a kid even when he is being criticized from every corner. “Mourinho? Among the best. On a personal level, I would say Mancini, and then Mourinho. A coach has to bring 100% out of a player and Mancini is brilliant at doing just that,” Balotelli told an Italian magazine L''Uomo Vogue. Balotelli also denied the rumor that he is hoping for a move back to Italy, The Mirror reports. He also criticized English media for overstressing on the minutest of details about his life. He also admitted that English media is still better than Italian media who writes rubbish reports every time, without even having an iota of truth in it. (ANI)
