West Ham legend Di Canio rejects Swindon return talk

West Ham United legend Paolo di Cano says he won't return to Swindon Town.

The Italian quit the League One club last week after a string of bust-ups.

Since then, the Robins have been taken over by a new consortium, prompting claims Di Canio may be tempted back.

But the 44-year-old, who took the club from League Two to the top of League One, said: "No chance. My chapter at Swindon is finished in terms of being the manager.

"I didn't see a very strong desire to keep Paolo Di Canio so, for that reason, I decided to leave.

"I am a straight man and I handled a situation this year that was absolutely incredible, I don't have any regrets."
