CITY STICKER ... Mario Balotelli arrives at training
Published: 8 hrs ago
ROBERTO MANCINI says he will give brawling Mario Balotelli “100 chances” to save his Manchester City future.
Balotelli was yesterday involved in an amazing training-ground spat with his manager as the pair scrapped in front of shocked City players.
Mancini has admitted losing his rag with the madcap striker after a rash tackle on Scott Sinclair.
But the Etihad boss denies that he will now ditch Balotelli in the January transfer window.
He said: “I will give him another 100 chances, if it is possible, if I think he can change. I am here for this.
“Sometimes I am upset with him because he doesn’t do everything for this, but I give him another chance, sure.
“He is 22 and he can do a mistake.”

Mancini has also revealed the full story behind his amazing scrap with the former Inter Milan bad-boy.
Asked if they fought, he added: “For two seconds, yes — during three or four seconds because he didn’t want to leave the pitch.
“He can’t do this against no-one, but then it was finished.
“It wasn’t a bad thing like in the paper. The photo is worse than what happened.
“We were playing a game and Mario kicked his team-mate and I said to him, ’Go inside, leave the pitch’. He said ’no’, and I took his shirt, I pushed him off the pitch.
“This is what really happened, there was no fight.”
