Di Canio considers coaching chance
Friday 12 December, 2008

Former Lazio legend Paolo Di Canio could be ready to start his coaching career with Lega Pro side Taranto.

The fiery ex-marksman finished his career in Italy's lower Leagues with Cisco Roma, announcing his retirement on March 10 this year.

Di Canio has stressed his desire to take charge of West Ham one day, but he may start from the humble surroundings of the Stadio Erasmo Iacovone.

Taranto fired tactician Franco Dellisanti last week after a 2-1 defeat against local rivals Gallipoli.

The Ionici started the season with play-off aspirations, but they are languishing near the relegation zone.

A statement from the club has revealed that the Rossoblu's owners met with Di Canio yesterday evening and the 40-year-old is considering an offer.
