The striker's response to racist abuse is further proof that football is on the right track to combat the issue, the Italian tactician says
Napoli head coach Carlo Ancelotti has commended Mario Balotelli's reaction to the racist abuse he received during Brescia's Serie A clash with Hellas Verona on Sunday.
Balotelli kicked the ball angrily towards Verona supporters early in the second half after hearing abuse, before threatening to walk off the pitch.
The referee brought play to a halt before following protocol, with a statement read out to the crowd in an attempt to resolve the issue.
