Paolo Di Canio, the coach of Sunderland, has been sacked following a disappointing start to the Premier League season. The decision was made after the team secured just one point in five matches. The final blow came with a 3-0 defeat against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
The former Sunderland player Stéphane Sessegnon, who now plays for West Bromwich Albion, scored against his former teammates in the match. The defeat left Sunderland at the bottom of the Premier League table with only one point.
Di Canio’s tenure as Sunderland’s coach lasted just six months, and the club’s leadership decided to make a change in an attempt to improve the team’s performance. The decision to part ways with the coach was likely influenced by the team’s overall poor performance and the need for a fresh start.
