Paolo Di Canio has declared his intention to take charge of West Ham.
The Hammers hero knows he’s not experienced enough to replace under-pressure manager Gianfranco Zola just yet. So he is willing to learn the ropes in League One or League Two first.
Di Canio yesterday spelled out his ambitious plan to kick-start his managerial career next season.
He said: “Everybody knows I love West Ham and it would be my dream to be their manager one day.
“But first of all I need to prove I am good enough to do the job and show my quality as a coach.
“Wherever I start it should be good for the club and for Paolo Di Canio.”
The 41-year-old former Lazio, Celtic and West Ham striker has been studying football management in Italy but wants to use his coaching badges in England first.
The Upton Park legend added: “Italy is my country but England is my home.
“When I go back there it’s like I have never left.”
