LEEDS UNITED: Cellino Disqualified By Football League

Published 19th Oct 2015

Leeds owner Massimo Cellino has been disqualified by the Football League after failing its owners' and directors' test on the day he sacked manager Uwe Rosler and replaced him with Steve Evans.

The Italian, who dispensed of his fifth manager of his tumultuous tenure at Elland Road earlier today, has been punished after invoking a disqualifying condition over a tax conviction in his native country.

It is the second time Cellino has faced such sanctions from the governing body after previously being disqualified between December 2014 and the end of last season.
