Paolo di Canio's appointment as new manager of Swindon Town has already sparked controversy.
The Daily Mail says the club's decision to appoint Di Canio as manager has forced a sponsor to terminate their relationship with the club due to the Italian's fascist views.
Former West Ham favourite Di Canio is open about being a fascist and admits he is an admirer of Mussolini. He was fined 7,000 Euros during his second spell with Lazio after twice giving a fascist salute to his own supporters during a local derby against Roma in 2005.
And the appointment of Di Canio has caused friction with the GMB Union - who have a firm anti-fascism policy.
Andy Newman, the GMB's Swindon branch secretary, told the Daily Mail: "We have decided to end our sponsorship deal with Swindon Town, we will not be renewing our agreement with them.
"Because we are a trade union we could not be seen to have a financial relationship with a club that has a fascist manager. We have no choice. It's unfortunate but that's the way it is."
