Paulo Di Canio Takes Charge at the Hammers.
I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles
Paulo Di Canio Takes Charge at the Hammers.
West Ham hero and controversial manager Paulo Di Canio has been given a chance to take over Sam Allardyce as the West Ham boss, Di Canio joined West Ham in 1999 and playing 118 games for the club before leaving in 2003 scoring 48 goals for the club.
Di Canio took over at Swindon Town in 2011 and managing the club for 95 games gaining promotion and winning league 2 in the 2011-2012 season and being runners up in the Johnstone's paint trophy and earning the LMA League Two Manager of the Year in 2012 before leaving in February 2013 leaving the club 6th in league one only 3 points off a promotion spot.
No one denies its a huge challenge for Di Canio to take on and he will need to control his tempers if he is to succeed in management especially at the top level with West Ham needing to stay in the premier league.
The West Ham players admitted they were disappointed when manager Sam Allardyce had left however look forward to working under Di Canio and impress the new man and were ready to fight for their position. Club favourite Joe Cole spoke out saying "Of course it's always difficult when people leave the club as we all see it as a family and the gaffer [Sam Allardyce] is a cracking bloke and manager, unfortunately things didn't work out but we will continue to play our best for the fans and for Di Canio and rack up as many points as we can until the end of the season."
Allardyce left the club by mutual consent as the club sat 17th in the Premier League and only 1 point clear of the relegation zone leaving Di Canio with a fight to take the Hammers further away from safety, The next fixture is against Tottenham however assistant manager Neil McDonald will take charge of that match as Di Canio has just joined and his first match will be away to Southampton 3 days later.
Adebayor's last grasp goal earns Tottenham valuable win
Emmanuel Adebayor ruined West Ham fans and Paulo Di Canio's day as he had to sit in the stands and watch a 90th minute winner costing his side a crucial point in the fight for safety this season, Speaking after the game Di Canio mentioned how well the team had played and he hoped for the same level of commitment in the next game and for the rest of the season.
Next Fixture: West Ham V Southampton
