(Reuters) - Italy coach Roberto Mancini is disappointed how maverick forward Mario Balotelli's career has tailed off over the past five years.

The 31-year-old now plays for Adana Demirspor, promoted to the Turkish top flight this season, having once been a key figure for title-winning teams in England and Italy, as well as a prominent striker for the Azzurri.

"Clearly, it was disappointing for all of us who knew him as a person and a player that in the last five or six years he was unable to do what he was capable of doing." He again played an integral role in his team's success, setting up Sergio Aguero's famous winner against Queens Park Rangers on the final day of the 2011-2012 Premier League season to earn City their first English top flight title since 1968.
