Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says that he will give striker Mario Balotelli "another 100 chances" because he believes that he can "change".

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has insisted that he will give striker Mario Balotelli "another 100 chances" in the hope that he will "change".

The Italian boss has insisted that Balotelli will not be sold following yesterday's training ground fracas, which involved Mancini grabbing the controversial forward and pushing him off the training pitch after the player had launched a dangerous tackle on Scott Sinclair.

"I will give him another 100 chances if it is possible I think he can change," Mancini said in a press conference. "I am here for this. I give him another chance, sure, because he is 22 and he can do a mistake."

Mancini also insisted that Balotelli will not face disciplinary action from the club.
