Trust me, this is the funniest football news I've heard in weeks, if not months. We all know Mario Balotelli hardly stays out of trouble, he unleashes it anytime anyday, to keep this silly behaviour in check, AC Milan has hired an ex police officer, chief Filippo Ferri to control him/ his excesses.

His former coach, Jose Mourinho was open to the suggestion. The Chelsea boss was quoted thus, "Mario is a great guy. I don't know what Ferri's specific tasks will be, but certainly with a lunatic like him you never get bored."

Meanwhile Ferri who also happens to be AC Milan-s head of security is a hard nut to crack, perfect person for the job If you ask me. He was relieved of his job as a policeman after his harsh treatment of protesters at the G8 summit which took place in 2001.
