The Italian coach was not at all happy with the young Balotelli showing off on pitch and immediately took him off.
Balotelli was not happy and challenged the coach while he went to take an early shower. As the player walked away, Mancini followed and did not back down from the challenge.
This definitely is not a good start for Balotelli who will be playing in his second season at Manchester City after a high-profile transfer from Inter FC.
Roberto Mancini had a good relationship with Balotelli during his coaching days at Inter. But it seems it is not the same during their time together in Manchester.

Balotelli has the potential to become a great player, yet he is immature and sometimes I dare say out of his mind. As a Man Utd fan I would never like to have him in the squad.
