Managerless Swindon Town are top of League One after a dream second-half performance.

   

Team Di Canio: Moving on... but where to?

After a week of turmoil (again), Town, led on the touchline by temporary boss Fabrizio Piccareta, scored three times - the last an incredible strike by Gary Roberts from inside his own half. 

 

But in an emotional post-match interview, Piccaretta dropped the bombshell everyone feared by confirming that he and Di Canio's other techical staff will resign in the morning. 

  

"This is the last game in charge for the technical staff at Swindon Town Football Club," he said.

 

"The fans are amazing and this victory and achievement is down to Paolo Di Canio, his players and his staff. No one else."
