Former Inter Milan chief Ernesto Paolillo isn't surprised by Mario Balotelli's success at the Euros.
The Manchester City striker was one of the great revelations of the tournament.
"I am not surprised at all what we've seen, Mario Balotelli is unique," Paolillo told Tuttomercatoweb.com.
"I'm very happy, I believed strongly in his potential. Unjust things were said about him, they have criticized him despite his history, his young age.
"I really struggled with his departure, I'm not sorry to see him away from Italy, but I hope someday he'll return. I had him at Inter from an early age, many successes for the youth team came through him."
