Di Canio Resigns As Swindon Boss

 

  Paolo Di Canio has resigned as manager of Swindon Town, claiming his position had become "untenable",and cited " a number of broken promises".

  The former West Ham forward claimed that he considered his resignation over a week prior to last Friday's meeting with the prospective new owners. Following these discussions he says he decided to stay on as manager, only to make a U-turn over his decision after discovering the deal was still yet to be confirmed by both parties.
  The club has responded by putting coach Fabrizio Piccareta in temporary charge of the club.
   In a statement the club said, "We are also disappointed that the sale of the Club has yet to be approved, but we hope the outstanding issues with the Football League will be resolved within a short period of time."
   The 44-year-old Italian was appointed Swindon boss in May 2011, and secured their promotion to League One, becoming League Two champions in the process, in his first season in charge. The former West Ham, Celtic, and Sheffield Wednesday striker thus far steered Swindon to sixth this season in England's third tier.
