Paolo Di Canio refuses to rule out a possible return to England in the summer.

Di Canio has fallen out with Lazio.  He feels the club did little to defend him after he was accused of making fascist gestures during two Italian league games.

The 37-year-old told Rete Sole television station: "Going back to England isn't such a remote possibility.

"Everyone knows the idea was to finish my career at Lazio. That was the reason I came back. But, unfortunately, it doesn't just depend on me. It's also up to the club."

Di Canio moved to Scotland with Celtic in 1996 and had spells in England with Sheffield Wednesday, West Ham and Charlton before agreeing to join former club Lazio in 2004.
