Balotelli's agent slams Klopp


One of transfer deadline day's key plotlines was Mario Balotelli getting a fresh chance to revive his career via Ligue 1 club Nice, although the circumstances of the move clearly upset the striker's agent, Mino Raiola.

Signed by then-coach Brendan Rodgers in August 2014, the Liverpool striker flattered to deceive in Merseyside and 12 months later was sent on loan to AC Milan,later returning to find new boss Jurgen Klopp uninterested in offering a first-team opportunity.

"Ultimately, the directors at Liverpool admitted Klopp was wrong," Raiola told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I cannot judge whether he is a good coach, although for me he is not, but he didn't understand that, above all, Balotelli is a person.

"Mario had exemplary behaviour, never complained when training alone, and to say it was a mistake by Klopp is an understatement, he is a piece of s**t."

Now in the south of France after completing a free transfer to Nice, Balotelli can settle into a new challenge, although his agent maintains that interested clubs were plentiful.

"[He had offers] from Italy, Germany, England, and in Spain," added Raiola. "But, there is an interesting language and attacking football in France."/ShikoNews
