Di Canio eyes West Ham job

West Ham United legend Paolo Di Canio has thrown his hat into the ring for the vacant Hammers job, according to his agent. It is understood that Di Canio is eager to move into management, and agent Phil Spencer confirmed the interest.

"We have made moves to talk to West Ham and advised them that he wants to be considered," Spencer told BBC Sport.

"He wouldn't be putting himself up for the job if he didn't think he was capable of doing it.

"He just wants the opportunity to sit in front of the decision makers at West Ham to tell them what he would do and how he would take them forward.

"Unfortunately he can't do that unless they invite him to do so."
