LONDON (AP) — Paolo Di Canio became the first Premier League manager to lose his job this season when he was fired by last-place Sunderland on Sunday.
Di Canio helped the Black Cats avoid relegation after he replaced Martin O’Neill on March 31 but got off to an 0-4-1 start this season.
Di Canio signed American forward Jozy Altidore last summer from AZ Alkmaar.
