Mario Balotelli has been told to "stick to his job" by Italian politician Toni Iwobi after the Nice striker criticised him on social media.
Balotelli posted an Instagram with the following message after Iwobi was elected to the anti-immigration Lega party: "Maybe I'm blind or maybe they haven't told him yet that he's black—what a disgrace!"
Per Radio Capital (h/t Ben Gladwell at ESPN FC), Iwobi then hit back: "I'd rather just ignore him. I'm not interested in what he writes. I have to deal with enough controversy. I just want to think about my territory and the new role I've been elected to.
