Mario: Mancini better than Mourinho

Mario Balotelli believes Roberto Mancini is a better manager than Jose Mourinho.

Both men have been major influences on the 21-year-old's career, Mancini first at Inter Milan, now at Manchester City, and Mourinho during the spell in between.

However, pushed to choose between them, he told Italian magazine L'Uomo Vogue: "Mourinho? Among the best. On a personal level I would say Mancini and then Mourinho."
