MARIO BALOTELLI was not surprised by Roberto Mancini’s sacking at Manchester City.
The Italian manager was fired on Monday after failing to win anything this season.
But Balotelli, who was signed by Mancini for City before being sold to Milan in January, was left unmoved by his old boss’ axing due to internal problems between the 48-year-old and the club.
Speaking to CNN, Balotelli said: “I am not really surprised but when I was with him he was a great manager and we had one of the best teams I have played with, the best players.
“I don’t know why they didn’t win. But obviously there were some problems inside. I am here [Milan] so I don’t know.”
City said on Monday that Mancini had been sacked after failing to meet all “stated targets” apart from qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
The club added: “This, combined with an identified need to develop a holistic approach to all aspects of football at the club, has meant that the decision has been taken to find a new manager for the 2013-14 season and beyond.”
Reports in Spain today said Malaga have opened the way for manager Mauricio Pellegrini, whose representatives have already held talks with City, to move on at the end of the season.
