Roberto Mancini has lamented the 'disappointing' and dramatic career downward spiral of Mario Balotelli after his former player punched a team-mate. Sportsmail reported last month that the volatile Italian hit his Adana Demirspor team-mate, livid with being substituted. And Mancini told RAI Sport that it was a sad state of affairs for anyone who knew him that Balotelli has not fulfilled his vast potential.
