Top 10 Shortest Serving Premier League Managers
T5. Paolo Di Canio – Sunderland – 12 Premier League games
One of the most dramatic and funniest managers ever to manage a Premier League team, Paolo Di Canio took charge of Sunderland football club with only few games left till the conclusion of the the season on a 2 and and half year contract after the dismissal of the then manager Martin O’Neill. After taking charge Sunderland played some pathetic football even though they managed to win two games and drawn two to help them stay up as they finished 17th at the end of the season surviving relegation.
Paolo Di Canio started the new season 13/14 as Sunderland manager and took only one point from 5 games and sold some of the experienced players bringing in 14 new signings in his short spell as Sunderland manager, after these successive poor result’s Sunderland fired the Italian manager with immediate effect.
