Mourinho hints at reunion with Balotelli
Jose Mourinho likes to talk. Generally speaking, unless you're managing one of his competitors, people like to listen.
Well, the Portuguese tactician is back at it again, fueling speculation that he could make a move for AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli in the near future.
Recent reports have suggested that the 23-year-old Italian has been unsettled by the media scrutiny he has faced during his time back home, which led Mourinho to suggest that a reunion could be in order at some point.
FOX Soccer has the details.
"In football you never know the future," Mourinho told Yahoo.
"Balotelli is with a big club at the moment but you never know the future.
"They want to keep the best players and want to keep the best Italian players. But Mario has already been in English football before.
"I'm not going to be manager of Milan or the Italy national team, but he's a good kid and somebody I'd like to work with again."
Mourinho and Balotelli worked together during their time at Inter Milan.
