Shoody Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Swindon Town are understood to be on the verge of naming Paulo Di Canio as their new manager. The Robins suffered relegation out of League One in 2010/11 and will begin next season in the fourth tier. A summer rebuild at the County Ground was expected and the changes look like they will start in the dugout. Di Canio hinted on Wednesday that he expected to complete a return to English football in the next few days, seven years after bringing to an end a Premier League career which took in spells at Sheffield Wednesday, West Ham and Charlton. Pride The Italian said at the time: "In the next few days something will happen, perhaps in an inferior division. "English football is loyal, full of pride and I believe I'm close to returning to England. It is the country that I most love from a football standpoint." The 'inferior division' of which he speaks looks like being League Two, as Swindon prepare to hand him their managerial reins. The Robins have been in the market for a new coach since severing ties with Paul Hart on 28th April, the man who came up short in the club's quest to beat the drop. On SSN.

Zatman Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 His management will probably go like another volatile character Roy KEane. GOod start cause of reputation but being too fearsome and will terrify the players. though he could prove us wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted May 22, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 22, 2011 One of the club's sponsors have pulled out as a result of Di Canio's appointment. They don't feel his Mussolino-advocating views are in sync with the multi-ethnic nature of Swindon as a town. Probably a fair point I'd say.
