FA president opens door to Balotelli Azzurri return
The Nice superstar has begun life very well in Ligue 1, smashing in braces against Monaco and Marseille.
“After lent, there is always Easter. Now we’re in Lent… but Easter will come” the president of the federation told RAI before Italy’s World Cup qualifiers with Macedonia.
He also spoke of Graziano Pellè’s exclusion, the Azzurri striker getting into trouble for the strop he pulled after being replaced in the 1-1 draw with Spain.
“We have taken a momentous decision but it was taken after the game having listened to the player, it was very serious but we can’t be deaf.
“Then there’s the image of a national team manager offering his hand and it being refused”.
