• Massimo Cellino: ‘He’s black and he’s working to whiten himself’• Brescia say chairman’s ‘quip’ was ‘clearly misunderstood’
Mario Balotelli has been subject to an extraordinary racist comment from his chairman at Brescia. The former Leeds owner Massimo Cellino targeted the striker, who was dropped for the weekend defeat by Roma after a row with the manager, Fabio Grosso, as he answered questions about the former
Italy international.
Cellino said: “What can I say? That he’s black and he’s working to whiten himself but he has great difficulties in this.”
