Di Canio is taking charge of a Hammers legends side this weekend.

The 45 year-old former striker will take the reins of the Elite Hammers Heroes team in a highly competitive legends tournament at Brisbane Road this Sunday.

The outspoken fan-favourite told the London Evening Standard: "It is always a great feeling to put on the West Ham shirt, as everyone knows my time at the club was very special to me.

"It is a pleasure for me to manage and play for the West Ham legends and I can assure all the West Ham fans that we will do our best to beat the legends of Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham and give them a great afternoon of football and entertainment."
