“He is ready and eager to take up the challenge.”
Paladini added: “We offered Mick Harford a role within the new set-up and we’re disappointed that he turned it down.
“He has done a fantastic job and his contribution will never be forgotten.
“The club is going through a phase of total restructuring and for us, the appointment of Luigi de Canio is the first important step ahead in our long-term strategy.”
