Football Legend Paolo Di Canio Headbutts Desk in Bizarre TV Incident
Fabio Capello handed him a tissue after Di Canio banged his head three times and appeared to draw blood during the broadcast.
- On Wednesday, Paolo Di Canio banged his head on a table three times during a Sky Sports Italy Champions League broadcast, causing visible bleeding during a debate with presenter Federica Masolin.
- The former striker was analyzing Champions League matches alongside Fabio Capello when he attempted to mime frustration; he misjudged the desk's proximity, leaving the production team stunned.
- Fabio Capello immediately stood up to assist his colleague, handing him a tissue to stop the bleeding; the 57-year-old continued his punditry duties after the brief interruption.
- Di Canio's history of volatility includes a 1998/99 incident where he received an 11-match ban and a £10,000 fine for shoving referee Paul Alcock while playing for Sheffield Wednesday.
- Despite efforts to distance himself, Di Canio's career has faced repeated controversy, including a 2005 "Roman salute" to Lazio fans and a 2016 Sky Italia suspension regarding a "dux" tattoo referencing Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
