But things went less well in Switzerland, where Super Mario scored six times in 19 games.

He did provide a leadership figure, however, earning the captain’s armband.

But unfortunately he couldn’t prevent his side from being relegated.

Balotelli achieved cult hero status in the Premier League during his time at Manchester City.

He arrived at the Etihad in 2010 after signing from Inter Milan.

The maverick forward spent three seasons at Eastlands, helping City win their first Premier League title in 2012.

Balotelli scored 30 goals in 80 appearances for City.

But his only assist was the contribution that really mattered, setting up Sergio Aguero for his iconic league-winning moment.

He later returned to the Prem for what would be a less successful spell at Liverpool.

The Italy international managed just four goals in 28 games for the Reds.

During his career he has also played for AC Milan, Nice, Marseille, Brescia and Monza.
