adminROME. — AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi says no decision on the future of Mario Balotelli will be made until they have a new coach in place. Balotelli has been strongly linked with a return to the English Premier League, with Arsenal and Chelsea both reported to be showing an interest in the former Manchester City star.
Berlusconi refused to rule out the prospect of selling the 23-year-old – who is currently with the Italy World Cup squad ahead of the finals in Brazil. “Will Balotelli stay? We have not decided about the market yet, neither for signings or for sales,” Berlusconi told the Italian media.
“We are evaluating, anyway, new players, but to take decisions we must wait for the new coach,” he added. Milan are widely expected to announce former striker Pippo Inzaghi as their new coach.
And on a new managerial appointment, Berlusconi added: “We have convened the board of directors of AC Milan and there we will decide who will be our new coach.” — Sky Sports.
