'''Luigi "Gigi" De Canio''' (born 26 September 1957) is an Italian [[association football|football]] manager and a former player who played as a [[Defender (association football)#Full-back|full-back]].

==Career==
===Player===
De Canio, a [[Defender (football)#Full-back|full back]], played mostly with [[Serie C1]] and [[Serie C2]] teams, his lone season in [[Serie B]] being 1979–80 with [[F.C. Matera|Matera]], marking his debut in the division on 16 September 1979 against [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.akaiaoi.com/Tabellini_1979-80.htm|publisher=Akaiaoi|language=it|title=Tabellini Genoa 1979–80|access-date=25 October 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071221020339/http://www.akaiaoi.com/Tabellini_1979-80.htm|archive-date=21 December 2007}}</ref> He retired in 1989 with amateur team Pisticci, of which he successively became head coach.

===Coach===
De Canio started his coaching career in 1988 with ''[[Promozione]]'' team Pisticci, immediately winning the league, being thus promoted to [[Serie D]]. He served as Pisticci boss for four more seasons before joining [[Serie C2]] team [[F.C. Savoia 1908|Savoia]] during the 1993–94 season, and winning the promotion playoffs the following season. In 1995–96 he coached [[A.C. Siena|Siena]] of [[Serie C1]], leading the ''Robur'' to an eighth place. In 1996–97 he signed for Serie C1 minnows [[Carpi F.C. 1909|Carpi]], a team which featured a young [[Marco Materazzi]] among their players,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/2006/materazzigrosso.html |title=Accidental heroes |publisher=Football Italia |access-date=25 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070703201549/http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/2006/materazzigrosso.html |archive-date=3 July 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and led the Emilia-Romagna side to a surprising fourth place which allowed them to play the promotion playoffs. In 1997–98 he moved to [[Serie B]] club [[A.S. Lucchese-Libertas|Lucchese]], hardly saving them from relegation with a final 16th place. Initially with no club for the following season, De Canio was then signed by [[Pescara Calcio|Pescara]], where he narrowly missed a surprising promotion to the top flight.

De Canio took charge of a Pescara side that had slumped to 13th place in 1997–98 and lost two of its opening three matches in 1998–99.  He guided ''i biancoazzuri'' to 63 points, finishing fifth, just one point from fourth, and only missed out on promotion due to the incredible, much-discussed victory of Reggina at Torino on the last day of the season (13 June 1999), which was called a few minutes early due to a pitch invasion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.olympuslabs.org/?p=180|title=Se non siete di Reggio Calabria non sapete cosa vi perdete|date=16 January 2006|publisher=Francesco Biacca}}</ref>  Following his departure from Pescara, it finished 13th again the next season.

His impressive coaching performance with Pescara caused interest by [[Serie A]] club [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]], which appointed him for the [[Serie A 1999-00|1999–2000 season]]. His first [[Serie A]] campaign ended in an eighth place for the ''bianconeri'' and a place in the [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]], which they [[UEFA Intertoto Cup 2000|successively won]], thus ensuring a place in the [[UEFA Cup 2000–01]].<ref name="udinese">{{cite web|url=http://www.udinese.it/home_udinese.php?n=59&l=it |publisher=Udinese Calcio |language=it |title=LA SOCIETA' BIANCONERA MODELLO ISPIRATORE |access-date=25 October 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070812150452/http://www.udinese.it/home_udinese.php?n=59&l=it |archive-date=12 August 2007 }}</ref> In [[Serie A 2000-01|2000–01]], after a very impressive start, Udinese entered into a long result crisis which brought to De Canio being sacked on 19 March 2001 following a home loss to [[Parma F.C.|Parma]] and his replacement with [[Luciano Spalletti]], who managed to save the club from relegation.<ref name="udinese" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.raisport.rai.it/news/sport/calcio/200103/20/3ab6974006a22/|publisher=RAI Sport|date=19 March 2001|title=De Canio esonerato|language=it|access-date=25 October 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080108122526/http://www2.raisport.rai.it/news/sport/calcio/200103/20/3ab6974006a22/|archive-date=8 January 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2001–02, De Canio was appointed as [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] boss with the goal to lead the ''azzurri'' back to [[Serie A]]; however he failed to do so, as Napoli ended their Serie B campaign in fifth place, six points shy of the fourth Serie A spot. He consequently left Napoli and was appointed at the helm of [[Reggina Calcio|Reggina]] during the [[Serie A 2002-03|2002–03 season]] replacing sacked [[Bortolo Mutti]], maintaining their place in the Italian top flight after winning a tie-breaking playoff to [[Atalanta B.C.|Atalanta]]. During the 2003–04, De Canio was called to replace [[Roberto Donadoni]] at the helm of Serie B club [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]], which were fighting to escape relegation despite their initial promotion claims, leading the club to a final 16th place in the league table. He was later sacked by Genoa only a handful days before their Serie B 2004–05 debut to appoint [[Serse Cosmi]] at his place. He was then appointed in January 2005 by Serie A minnows [[A.C. Siena|Siena]], a team which he already coached some years earlier, to replace [[Luigi Simoni]], leading his side to escape relegation for two consecutive seasons.

====Queens Park Rangers====
De Canio was announced as first team coach of English [[Football League Championship|Championship]] team [[Queens Park Rangers F.C.|Queens Park Rangers]] on 29 October 2007, succeeding the recently sacked [[John Gregory (footballer)|John Gregory]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/q/qpr/7067651.stm|publisher=BBC News|title=Former Napoli boss takes QPR role |date=29 October 2007|access-date=29 October 2007}}</ref> He started his QPR experience with a 2–0 home win to [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]] on 3 November.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/7065228.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|title=QPR 2–0 Hull|date=3 November 2007|access-date=6 November 2007}}</ref> Rangers signed several players during the January [[transfer window]]: [[Ákos Buzsáky]] who had previously been on loan from [[Plymouth Argyle F.C.|Plymouth Argyle]], [[Hogan Ephraim]] from [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham]], [[Kieran Lee]] on loan from [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], [[Gavin Mahon]] on loan from [[Watford F.C.|Watford]], [[Matthew Connolly]] from [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]], [[Patrick Agyemang (footballer, born 1980)|Patrick Agyemang]] from [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston]] and [[Fitz Hall]] from [[Wigan Athletic F.C.|Wigan]]. Early in January QPR also managed to secure striker [[Rowan Vine]] in a permanent move following his brief loan spell which had ended in December. During [[Queens Park Rangers F.C. season 2007-08|his period in charge of the club]], De Canio became a very popular figure among the QPR faithful, due to the style and flair he brought back to their game. As a result, he was, along with the club's owners, immortalised in the supporters' song "''Gigi De Canio, [[Bernie Ecclestone|Bernie]] and [[Flavio Briatore|Flavio]]''" (to the tune of ''[[La donna è mobile]]'').<ref>{{cite news|url=http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/sport/considerablyricherthanyou/may08/change-is-vital-for-qpr.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509045319/http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/sport/considerablyricherthanyou/may08/change-is-vital-for-qpr.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=9 May 2008|publisher=Daily Telegraph blog|title=Changes are vital for QPR |date=7 May 2008|access-date=9 May 2008 | location=London}}</ref>

De Canio left the club by "mutual consent" after the end of the season in May 2008, having guided them to fourteenth place in the [[Championship]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/q/qpr/7390743.stm | work=BBC News | title=De Canio parts company with QPR | date=8 May 2008 | access-date=11 May 2010}}</ref> His record at the club comprised 12 wins, 12 losses and 11 draws in 35 games. It has reported that his return to Italy was partly due to a bid to save his marriage.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.londoninformer.co.uk/london-sport/london-football/london-qpr/2009/04/15/di-canio-set-for-return-113489-23392213/|publisher=London Informer|access-date=9 June 2009|title=Di Canio set for return}}</ref>

====Back to Italy====
On 9 March 2009 De Canio signed a contract to become head coach of [[Serie A]] relegation battlers [[U.S. Lecce|Lecce]], replacing [[Mario Beretta]] at the helm of the ''[[Salento|salentini]]'',<ref name="decanio_lecce">{{cite news|publisher=US Lecce|url=http://www.uslecce.it/PaginaEvento.aspx?ID_TIPO_EVENTO=1&ID_EVENTO=749|title=Luigi De Canio è il nuovo allenatore|date=9 March 2009|access-date=10 March 2009|language=it|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090312233906/http://www.uslecce.it/PaginaEvento.aspx?ID_TIPO_EVENTO=1&ID_EVENTO=749|archive-date=12 March 2009}}</ref> but did not manage to save the side from relegation. On 31 May 2009 US Lecce announced De Canio had refused to extend his contract with the club; however, on 6 June the club officially confirmed to have reached an agreement with the former QPR manager, who guided the ''giallorossi'' back to the top flight, as league runners-up, in their 2009–10 Serie B campaign.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.corrieredellosport.it/Notizie/Calcio/70834/De+Canio+nuovo+tecnico+Lecce|publisher=Corriere dello Sport – Stadio|language=it|title=De Canio nuovo tecnico Lecce|date=6 June 2009|access-date=6 June 2009}} {{Dead link|date=December 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> He was sacked on 22 May 2011 as Lecce finished 17th at the end of the [[2010–11 Serie A|2010–11 season]].

On 22 April 2012 he was hired again as Genoa head coach, in a desperate attempt to save the team from relegation,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cittadigenova.com/Genova/Sport/Incubo-Genoa-Malesani-nuovamente-50639.aspx |title=Incubo Genoa/ Malesani nuovamente esonerato.

On 20 October 2013, De Canio returned into management as he accepted to take over from [[Rolando Maran]] at the head of endangered Serie A club [[Calcio Catania|Catania]].<ref name="decanio_catania">{{cite news|url=http://www.ilcalciocatania.it/article.php?id=29444 |publisher=Calcio Catania |title=Rolando Maran sollevato dall'incarico.

On 15 March 2016, he was appointed manager of [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://app.football-italia.net/?referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.football-italia.net%2F81327%2Fofficial-udinese-appoint-de-canio#article/footballitalia-81327|title=Web Server's Default Page}}</ref> He was let go at the end of the season on 19 May.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.football-italia.net/84559/official-udinese-appoint-iachini| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160527044226/http://www.football-italia.net/84559/official-udinese-appoint-iachini| archive-date = 2016-05-27| title = Official: Udinese appoint Iachini {{!}} Football Italia}}</ref>

==Name spelling==
Some sections of the media, particularly the English language media commonly misspell his surname as ''Di'' Canio, instead of the correct ''De'' Canio.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_20010320/ai_n14367642 |publisher=The London Independent |title=Sporting digest: Football |date=25 October 2007 |access-date=25 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080112092727/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_20010320/ai_n14367642 |archive-date=12 January 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
