Mario Balotelli's time at Milan looks to be up after manager blasts his attitude

The on-loan Liverpool striker is not known for being easy to deal with, and it seems that another manager has lost their patience with him.

Back at Milan under Sinisa Mihajlovic, the striker made a late appearance against Genoa and after the game, the gaffer was none too pleased with the effort he showed.

Milan sit sixth in the table and are still hopeful of making it to the Champions League spots, which means that every win between now and the end of the season will be a hard-fought victory. 

On Sunday evening, their match against Genoa saw them enter the dying stages with a 2-0 lead before the introduction of Balotelli in the 88th minute. Shortly afterwards, they conceded a goal to make the final moments very nervy, although they did eventually come out on top, winning 2-1. 

However, in the post-match press conference, his manager was furious, stating that "those who don't fight and sacrifice themselves until the 94th minute will no longer play". While he added that there were "two or three other players" and not just Balotelli that he was angry with, the reports in Italy since the outburst have suggested that he is increasingly likely to be on the move away from the club in the next window, more than likely back to Liverpool where it seems he is also unwanted.
