Di Canio took over from former manager Martin O'Neill who was sacked after defeat to Manchester United in March this year with the club hovering above the relegation zone.
Di Canio took Sunderland to Premier League safety which included two consecutive victories over Newcastle United at St. James' Park and Everton.
The 3-0 win in the Tyne-Wear derby over Newcastle United was one of particular significance as it was the first time Sunderland had won on Tyneside in over a decade.
Di Canio made wholesale changes to the Sunderland squad in the summer transfer window which saw 14 new players brought into the squad.
The current campaign has been a tough one for Sunderland though as, after five games they are bottom of the Premier League with one point from five games.The decision to part company with Di Canio comes after Sunderland's fourth defeat of the league campaign which saw them go down 3-0 away at West Brom.
A statement on the club's official website said:
"Sunderland AFC confirms that it has parted company with head coach Paolo Di Canio this evening (Sunday September 22)
"Kevin Ball will take charge of the squad ahead of Tuesday night?s Capital One Cup game against Peterborough United and an announcement will be made in due course regarding a permanent successor.
'The club would like to place on record its thanks to Paolo and his staff and wishes them well for the future."
