League One news: Di Canio walks out on Swindon job

Daily Mail reports fiery Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio resigned over ‘a number of broken promises’.

The Italian has issued statement where he said his position became ‘untenable’ due to the uncertainty over the club’s future. Di Canio revealed he has been considering his options shortly after the sale of the club’s star Matt Ritchie to Bournemouth.

Di Canio said in the statement: “Last Tuesday, 12th February, I formally confirmed my resignation as manager of Swindon Town Football Club with immediate effect.

“There have been a number of broken promises made by the club over the time that I have been manager of Swindon Town.

“Despite these problems, I have delivered everything and more that was asked of me, by achieving promotion last year as champions and competing this season for promotion to the Championship and being just three points from top place a year earlier than expected.”
