Di Canio feared Sunderland sack

Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio says he feared the sack in the immediate controversy over his appointment.

Di Canio, 44, had to fend off questions about whether he held fascist beliefs as the focus on his political views overshadowed his arrival in March.

"He [chairman Ellis Short] might have thought, 'Now I'll sack him straight away' because he was under pressure," Di Canio told the Sunderland Echo.

"Instead he backed me 100%, 1,000%. He supported me in an incredible way."
