Mario Balotelli provoked a furious reaction from his Adana Demirspor boss Vincenzo Montella as the two almost came to blows on the pitch after Saturday’s Turkish Super Lig game.
The incident erupted on the pitch following the final whistle of a 1-0 Turkish Super Lig victory over Umraniye, with the striker appearing to make a comment after the game to Montella which appeared to provoke the coach to the point where he had to be restrained from the striker.
Balotelli – who is never shy on speaking his mind and sparking controversy – made a comment to Montella, who then turned around and attempted to lunge at the 32-year-old and they were only separated by last-ditch intervention by staff on the pitch.
