Paolo Di Canio 'not interested' in becoming Rotherham manager
Tuesday 9 February 2016 14:36, UK
Paolo Di Canio's agent says there is no truth in reports the Italian has applied for the vacant managerial position at Rotherham United.
On Monday, Rotherham sacked Neil Redfearn after just four months in charge at the New York Stadium, with the club languishing in 22nd place in the Sky Bet Championship.
Reports suggested Di Canio had previously submitted an application for the managerial position in September when Rotherham parted company with Steve Evans.
"There is no truth in this. Paolo did not apply the first time, he has never applied for the Rotherham job," Di Canio's representative, Phil Spencer, told Sky Sports.
"There's 100 per cent no truth in this."
Di Canio has been without a club since leaving Sunderland in 2013.
Sky sources understand Rotherham are keen to name Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder as Redfearn's successor.
Wilder, who played 132 games for the Millers between 1992 and 1996, has impressed at Northampton in Sky Bet League 2 this season - they are five points clear at the top after a run of 11 wins in 12 matches.
