De Canio's QPR Future Uncertain

Goal.com - I Don't Know If I'll Go Back To Italy - De Canio
Coach Luigi De Canio talked about his experience coaching in England with Championship side Queens Park Rangers.
The career of coach Gigi De Canio has come at a crossroads. Will he continue coaching ambitious Queens Park Rangers in England, or make his return to Italy? This is the decision which De Canio will have to make within the next few weeks.
"Coming back to Italy? I'll only say that I like to be a coach and I will exercise my profession wherever I can," he said. "But it's true that coaching abroad enriches you from the human and professional point of view. Let's see how the season finishes at QPR, then we will see."
The former Siena and Reggina coach did want to emphasize that he is doing well in England: "Here in England there is the right atmosphere of enthusiasm and joy. There is pressure as there is in Italy, but football is experienced in a different way. The choices made by the management here at QPR (composed of Formula 1 moguls Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone) have proven adequate." Danilo Pochini - Goal.com

On reading this article it seems rather thin and alludes to enjoying coaching here. I would interpret this more to what job offers he has, the salaries and whether Briatore et al want him back or have their eyes on someone else. I would read this as the backdrop of his short statement.
Or secondly perhaps he has known he wont be back for a while. So how does this square with his promotion and support of Gareth Ainsworth. It probably doesnt and I personally feel that the owners will reward him with another season.
One other idea that since he lost his father he wants to be closer to his family. But now we are in a speculation mode.

Yes, but seeing as how only a few weeks ago, various press reports had De Canio stating that he wants to be with Rangers in the Premier League - however long it takes to get there - how can we interpret these two very different comments, supposedly from the same man? I believe it is just more press speculation as, until the close season, there is so little "gossip" for the press to write about!
