Really? Did he bite anyone in training?
I was watching the review today and they're constantly using Di Canio's celebration as practically stock footage...did he seriously only win 2 games in charge of Sunderland?
That guy is a Grade A lunatic.

Shocking details coming out about his time in charge. No eye contact allowed by the ground staff to the players on match days, stuff like that.
I believe he won three out of thirteen matches at Sunderland, but he did lead them to victory away at Newcastle in his second match. They hadn't won there in over a decade, and that was a big deal to the Sunderland supporters.
Word out of the papers in Ireland is that di Canio told the players to go to the board if they didn't like his style of management. John O'Shea led a group of senior players to a meeting with the board, who promptly sacked di Canio. Priceless stuff.
