I Don’t Believe Mario Balotelli Is Troublesome - OGC Nice President Jean-Pierre Rivère

After what can be tagged as an impressive season with French side OGC Nice, Mario Balotelli has been hailed by club president for his calmness. President of the Ligue 1 side Jean Pierre-Revère says the often controversial Italian international is not as troublesome as always purported following a year's stay with the Ghanaian-born.

The Italian has scored 15 times in 22 league starts this season, guiding the in fancied French side to a UEFA Champions League qualification. The Italian seem to have enjoyed his stay in France in his relationship with Nice with President Rivère saying his troublesome reputation is a far cry from the good guy he has witnessed up close over the last year in the south of France.

He said “Mario Balotelli has a reputation which I believe is not in tune with who he really is”
