Mario Balotelli is "very happy" being back in Brescia and can be a real success for his hometown club, according to former team-mate Nigel de Jong.
De Jong played alongside Balotelli at City and AC Milan, and he expects the move home to bring the best out of his friend.
"Of course [he can succeed], he's back in his hometown, Brescia, with his family around him," the former Netherlands international said after Vincent Kompany's testimonial match, which Balotelli attended as a spectator.
"I know him very well, we speak quite often, and he's happy.
"For me, it's important for Mario to be in an environment he's happy with and [where] he's back with his family.
"I think he needs two more weeks before he's really fit and he can play his first game.
"Mario's Mario – the qualities will always be there. We just hope that he can pick up where he left off [in France] and show his qualities for Brescia because they're going to need it this year.
"He is very happy. So we'll see."
