Di Canio mocks Lazio president Lotito over fans feud

Former Lazio captain Paolo di Canio has taken aim at club president Claudio Lotito.

The ex-Sunderland manager is no fan of Lotito and isn't surprised seeing Lazio fans at odds with the powerbroker.

"He has promised they would have a championship team within five years, it's been ten and there is a stadium that is empty: I think he's produced a great masterpiece," mocked Di Canio.

"Six thousand season tickets? Not bad, I think he deems it a good result: rejoice!"

Di Canio also believes there's a lack of talent available to Italy coach Antonio Conte.

"In Italy there is a shortage of talent, there are only talentini: (Marco) Verratti, (Lorenzo) Insigne and a few others. We only have 3-4 players of international level."
