Serie A superstar wishes to play under Jose Mourinho

AC Milan's Mario Balotelli celebrates after scoring a second goal against Sassuolo during their Italian Serie A soccer match at the Mapei stadium in Reggio Emilia

AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli has insisted that he’d like to work under Jose Mourinho again, but not at Chelsea.

The Italian played for Inter while Mourinho led them to an unprecedented treble, winning Serie A, Coppa Italia and the Champions League. The pair had their problems but they never fully fell out.

Balotelli also admitted that should he return to the Premier League in the future, he could only ever see himself playing for Manchester City again.

“Of course I would like to play under Jose again. In my first days at Inter we had some problems, but then it turned into a mutual respect, and now we have a real friendship,” Balotelli said.

“It is never boring playing under Jose. When you are in Mourinho’s team it is a family and he coaches on the principal that if all is well with the family it doesn’t matter what is going on outside the team.

“I said when I left Manchester that the fans were so good to me that I couldn’t see myself playing for another team in England.

“I got great support from the Manchester City fans during my time there and I will always respect them.”
