The Football Association confirms that it is investigating claims that Paolo di Canio racially abused striker Jonathan Tehoue.

The Football Association has confirmed that they will investigate allegations that Swindon Town manager Paolo di Canio racially abused striker Jonathan Tehoue.

The alleged incident is said to have happened during Tehoue's loan spell with the Robins from Leyton Orient in March.

Swindon have since released a statement which has revealed that the Italian boss denies the claims.

"The board was fully appraised of the facts at the time of the alleged incident back in March and having investigated it, was satisfied that it was without merit and took appropriate action then," read the statement.

"Paolo di Canio denies completely any suggestion that he used toward Jonathan Tehoue or anyone, abusive, insulting or threatening words or behaviour by reference to race or at all and the board wishes to affirm its complete and unequivocal support for its manager in this regard.

"Further, the board is wholly satisfied that any decisions concerning Jonathan Tehoue's playing career whilst at Swindon, were made for purely footballing reasons. The club will of course however happily assist the FA in its enquiries."

An outcome is expected later this week.
