Mario Balotelli has found a new job and will expand the list of countries and competitions he has played in. After a successful stint in Turkey, he is heading to Switzerland, where he will be one of the biggest stars in the top competition.
A big step down in his career? It may seem like it, but according to the ranking of countries by coefficient, the top Swiss league is better off than the Turkish one. This is despite the fact that a fan of European football is guaranteed to know more players in Turkey than in Switzerland.
After Serie A, the Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie B and the Turkish Süper Lig, Mario Balotelli will also try out the Swiss Super League. He may not be the most expensive player there, but he is certainly the most famous.
The Italian striker has been paid as a great talent, after all, his qualities are unquestionable. However, he deprived himself of a potentially great career with his problems, which were not few. And surprisingly, he was not without them in Turkey.
After his last game for Adana Demirspor, he had a falling out with coach Vincenzo Montella and not separating them from the rest of the team, who knows where it would have gone. However, he shone last season, netting 19 goals and adding 6 assists.
Balotelli has already played for Inter Milan, Manchester City, AC Milan, Liverpool, Nice, Olympique Marseille, Brescia and Monza. After Demirspor, he will play for Swiss side FC Sion. He signed a 2-year contract at the club.
For the Swiss league and Sion itself, the 32-year-old striker is a big boost in all aspects. Especially for the marketers it will be an absolutely phenomenal opportunity to make the competition more visible.
