The West Ham United fans absolutely adore Paolo Di Canio after his four-year spell at the club back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.
Paolo Di Canio was one of the most gifted players to ever represent West Ham, and I wish we had someone like him in our side up front now!
The 55-year-old Italian recently shared his undying love for West Ham, and praised the job being done by David Moyes at the London Stadium.
However, it seems like Paolo could be gunning for the Scot’s job! He spent six months in charge of then Premier League club Sunderland back in 2013, and he managed to keep them up.
Since then, Di Canio has not managed at all, but it seems as though he’s still keeping his eye on the job at the London Stadium!!
Paolo Di Canio makes West Ham manager admission
The Italian has been speaking during an event about all things West Ham.
And he suggested that he’d love to manage West Ham one day, in a video posted by Hammers insider Sean Whetstone:
“West Ham would be perfect. For me, the only club I could choose. But if it’s not possible at West Ham, maybe I would go to a different place, and then work my way towards (West Ham). Then take them to Wembley and the FA Cup, Come on you Irons!’
Di Canio scored 52 goals goals during his time at West Ham (Soccerbase), and he earned legendary status at the club.
However, as good as he was as a player, he doesn’t seem to have the same sauce as a manager. Paolo Di Canio definitely wouldn’t be in the running for the West Ham job right now.
If he was to have any chance of taking over the East London outfit, he’d need to cut his teeth in football management for a prolonged period of time elsewhere in order to prove himself.
I just can’t see it happening at any point in the future though and in a way, I’m happy with that. There’s no point in risking damaging his God like status at the club.
