Paolo Di Canio’s representatives have contacted Championship club Rotherham about their vacant managerial position, the Press Association Sport claim.
The West Ham legend has been out of work since leaving Sunderland in September 2013, but is said to be keen to return to management again and his representatives sounded out the potential for him to become Steve Evans’ successor at the South Yorkshire club.
Di Canio left Sunderland after a whirlwind 13 games at the Stadium of Light where, after initially keeping them in the Premier League and famously masterminding a 3-0 Tyne-Wear derby success over Newcastle in the 2012-13 campaign, things turned sour the following season, with reports of a player revolt. He left after taking just one point from the opening five games of the season.
The Millers are on the look-out for a new manager after Evans surprisingly left his post on Monday after a success-laden three and a half years at the club. T
Sunderland would do better to ask him back,
I hope he gets the chance to resurrect his managerial career,
Still hope one day for him to return but then I would not like to loose Slav
Good luck to him & I hope he gains success where ever he goes, just please stay away from us. Loved him as a player but as a manager…. no, he is a nightmare.
