Bawlty Towers! Roberto Mancini says Mario Balotelli would be better as a hotel manager than footie boss

MANCHESTER City boss Roberto Mancini laughed off a question about whether Mario Balotelli could one day be a football boss.

When he stopped giggling, the Italian said: “A manager? Maybe a hotel manager.”

Punters would pay a fortune to stay in a hotel run by Mario. The pool parties would be immense.

Meanwhile, Mario’s teammate Sergio Aguero can’t get enough of his local garden centre.

The £38million striker is a regular at Brookside in Poynton, Cheshire, because he treats his young son Benjamin to a ride on their miniature railway. A source said: “Sergio and his family are familiar faces at Brookside.

“His son loves the miniature railway and heads straight over to it when they come in.”

The insider added: “Sergio is such a nice bloke too. You wouldn’t know he was football superstar.”
