Swindon Town boss Paolo Di Canio has signed a new two-year extension with the club.

The controversial Italian was appointed by the Robins in May 2011, and led the club to the League Two title last season.

Chairman Jeremy Wray told the club's official website: "Paolo has been a spectacular success in his first year of club management.

"From the outset he has given assurance of his commitments to Swindon, as long as we had a shared goal of reaching the Championship within three years.

"Having agreed the budget for the upcoming season, the board has every confidence that Paolo will deliver this goal within the period of his new contract.

"I am sure all Swindon Town fans will join the board in welcoming this news and that we can all look forward to another exciting and successful season."

Di Canio represented Lazio, Juventus and AC Milan during an illustrious playing career.
