BETDAQ have opened up a market on who will replace Paolo Di Canio in charge of Sunderland.

His turbulent reign as manager is over after the Italian and the club parted company.

The 45-year-old’s departure was confirmed by the Black Cats on Sunday, a little more than 24 hours after a 3-0 defeat at West Brom left them rooted to the foot of the Barclays Premier League table.

A statement said: “Sunderland AFC confirms that it has parted company with head coach Paolo Di Canio this evening.”

Former Sunderland captain Kevin Ball, currently on the club’s coaching staff, steps in to lead the team on a short-term basis.

Sunderland’s statement added: “Kevin Ball will take charge of the squad ahead of Tuesday night’s Capital One Cup game against Peterborough United and an announcement will be made in due course regarding a permanent successor. The club would like to place on record its thanks to Paolo and his staff and wishes them well for the future.”

Di Canio arrived on Wearside amid a blaze of publicity in March as owner Ellis Short took a gamble on the former Swindon boss after deciding to end Martin O’Neill’s tenure.
