"Manager Stefano Colantuono has been relieved of his duties as head coach of Udinese First Team," the Italian club said on their website (www.udinese.it).
Colantuono joined Udinese in June after being sacked as Atalanta's coach last season.
De Canio, who returns to the club after 15 years, has signed on for the final nine game of the season.
