Steve Evans sacking: Massimo Cellino finally speaks with bizarre statement on Leeds boss
MASSIMO CELLINO insists he will not sack Leeds United manager Steve Evans - at least until the end of the season.
Massimo Cellino (right) could get rid of Leeds manager Steve Evans this summer
Italian owner Cellino has already gone through five managers since taking over at Elland Road less than two years ago.
Evans, who replaced Uwe Rosler back in October, has successfully steered Leeds clear of the Championship drop zone.
But The Daily Mail claimed yesterday that Cellino was about to sack the manager after a 4-1 home defeat to West Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield.
“Sometimes, though, I am not happy with my wife but I don’t divorce her.
"I certainly am not looking to replace Steve Evans.
“I won’t be making any changes until the end of the season then I will look at how the whole season has gone and make a decision for the future.”
World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro was linked with the Leeds post yesterday, although reports in Italy claim he is considering a role with the national team after Euro 2016.
