Adana Demirspor striker Mario Balotelli has sung the praises of Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Balotelli says De Zerbi and Nice's Nicola Farioli are the two coaches now impressing the most in Europe.

He told TVPlay: "I have played many matches in my career, but I think only against De Zerbi's Sassuolo and Farioli I didn't touch the ball.

"They are two great coaches, they make their teams play in an incredible way."

Italian coach Farioli, 34, left Alanyaspor for Nice last summer.
