Paolo Di Canio doesn’t regret his return to Lazio, and reveals he has “no relationship” with Roma legend Francesco Totti.
The former striker left Charlton Athletic to return to the Biancocelesti in 2004, playing 62 games for his boyhood club and scoring 14 times.
“I was living in London with my family and we were very happy there,” Di Canio recalled, speaking at a sports and ethics event at Teatro Brancaccio.

“I was living in London with my family and we were very happy there,” Di Canio recalled, speaking at a sports and ethics event at Teatro Brancaccio.
“In spite of everything though I’d go back to Lazio, because it was and is the team I support. I’d do it again 1000 times over.”
Di Canio famously clashed with Totti during his second spell with the Aquile, with Er Pupone claiming he wouldn’t sit at the same table as his Lazio rival and D
Canio responding “it’s no great loss because if you tell Totti there are tensions in the Middle East, he'll assume that a fight has broken out on the right side of midfield”.
Do the pair have any kind of relationship these days?
“Why would I have a relationship with him? I have no relationship with him, and honestly I’m not interested in having one.
“It can happen that you don’t have any contact with teammates, never mind him. It’s a very normal thing.”
