Sunderland sack Paolo Di Canio

Sunderland have sacked head coach Paolo Di Canio with the Black Cats bottom of the Premier League table.

The 45-year-old Italian has won three of his 13 matches since being appointed in March and taken only one point from five league games this campaign.

Sunderland said they will decide on Di Canio's successor in "due course".

Well five games in and we have our first sacking, I wouldn’t say I’m surprised that Di Canio has been sacked given that there was a story every week about how the Sunderland players weren’t happy with Di Canio’s methods, but instead of moaning maybe they should have made more of an effort to get behind the manager, because everybody knows that Di Canio had his own way of doing things.

Even though Sunderland are bottom and have made a bad start the season’s only five games old, you’d have thought Di Canio would have been given a bit more time to try and turn things round, he should have at least been given five more games.

All you can say is good luck to whoever replaces Di Canio because Sunderland’s next four league games are Liverpool, Man United, Swansea and Newcastle.


It was interesting while it lasted but the Di Canio-Sunderland experiment has gone up in flames.
