Just hours before his spat with Balotelli, what was Roberto Mancini doing in London dressed up like Inspector Gadget?

Roberto Mancini has been under the spotlight over the past 24 hours after a fight with wayward striker Mario Balotelli during training was captured by photographers.

The Italian has since said that he will give his compatriot '100 more chances' after it was proposed that this might be the end of Balotelli's career at Manchester City.

But in the calm before the storm, Mancini was apparently at the other end of the country, having dinner in a London restaurant, and he was dressed in an outfit that bore an uncanny resemblance to Inspector Gadget.
