http://www1.skysports.com/football/...eady-to-return-to-the-english-game-as-manager Paolo Di Canio has declared he ready to return to the game as a better manager. Di Canio was sacked by Sunderland after just five games of the 2013/14 Premier League season with the Black Cats bottom of the table. But his successor Gus Poyet was able to lift the Wearsiders to the Capital One Cup final and eventual top-flight safety. The Italian insisted he had performed a miracle to keep Sunderland in the Premier League the previous season when he took over from Martin O'Neill on March 31, after a successful spell at the helm of Swindon. He told Sky Sports News: "I'm pleased for the fans. They're very passionate, so I'm very happy they stayed up. "We made a miracle (in 2013) because the team came from a very bad run. "We changed things in a short period which is very, very difficult. It's like a miracle because if you've got seven or eight months you can change things, you can deliver your philosophy. "I didn't have a long time to deliver or fix things. There was a project and after five games they changed their minds. It's not a problem now, I have to look forward. "In two years of my career I only had a successful period so that proved my philosophy, in general, is the right one. " Though Di Canio is eager for a quick return to management, he would like to come back on his own terms, and refused to comment on the growing speculation surrounding Sam Allardyce's future at West Ham. Sam Allardyce: West Ham future uncertain Di Canio insisted Allardyce was doing a good job with the Hammers and added: "It's not the time, I will answer when it will be the time. "It's not fair to talk about it now, he's a manager who's got great experience, and had a long time in Premier League. "The (West Ham fans) sometimes like (his style), sometimes don't. I don't know why they're so frustrated. You should ask them to be honest. I can only tell you that Sam Allardyce is a good, experienced manager." He reiterated his desire to return to management, saying: "I'm available, I'm ready. I've had time to think (about) what's happened in the past. I have a more positive opinion about my philosophy." Please go to west ham
Whoever takes him on can expect fireworks. Won`t be short of entertainment for those on the outside looking in. Journos will be rubbing their hands.
West Ham, nailed on, they love him, even have a bar named after him. http://www.hospitality.whufc.com/west-ham-paolo-di-canio-lounge.php

Paolo Di Canio is interested in discussing the possibility of returning to Celtic Park to replace Neil Lennon as the club's manager, according to his agent. The 45-year-old has been out of work since he was sacked by Sunderland last September. But his UK representative Phil Spencer revealed the Italian is eager to speak to Celtic about filling the void left by Lennon, who ended his four-year reign as the club's manger on Thursday. "Paolo would be keen to speak to Celtic," Spencer said. "He played for the club and he certainly has a good relationship with the fans. "There has been no contact between Paolo and the club. But if there was, it's something he would consider." Di Canio: Spent 1996-97 season at Celtic Di Canio joined Celtic from AC Milan in 1996 and went on to win the PFA Scotland Players' Player of the Year award in his first season. But he left to join Sheffield Wednesday after just one season at Parkhead, following a pay dispute with then Celtic owner Fergus McCann. The former Juventus and Napoli forward had spells with West Ham and Charlton followed by a return to boyhood club Lazio before ending his playing career at Cisco Roma. Di Canio's first foray into management came at Swindon Town in 2011 where he guided the club to automatic promotion from League Two in his first season in charge. He resigned from his position the following season due to the Wiltshire club's financial difficulties before taking charge of Sunderland in March 2013. His spell in charge at the Stadium of Light was dogged by controversy and he was axed just six weeks into the season after Sunderland took just a point from their first five fixtures.
"In two years of my career I only had a successful period so that proved my philosophy, in general, is the right one. " Seriously?
Perfect job if I was him. No one can fail domestically and but they are a high profile club nonetheless. They aren't expected to do well in Europe either. If I was Paolo I'd be knocking the door down.
My daughters could win that league marra, lennon will be flop in the prem, pdc would be more suited to the championship i reckon, or cleethorpes or summat, the fella isnt right in the noggin
Please go to West Ham, that would be fantastic, the media would have a field day. He would do well a Celtic, they are gonna win the league and his ridiculous style actually might work to get them a run in Europe.
I would like to see him back in the game Celtic would be a great opportunity for him But I would prefer him to go to west ham on the promise of sexy football etc etc and then get them relegated just in time for their big move to the Olympic stadium
This is the problem, we're all just guessing. The stories about him being insane all came from a set of lazy players who'd been read the riot act and had a tantrum ........ guesswork again tbf. I doubt very much if Di Canio is the lunatic he's been painted as. We all know that the bunch of arseholes who could suddenly beat the best teams in the country had been totally taking the piss under MON and PDC. Di Canio loves football ............ I very much doubt the same applies to some of the tossers we have at the club. It was a clash of someone who was totally dedicated and players who couldn't be arsed, always going to end in tears.
