Johnny Giles: Massimo Cellino should "get out" of Leeds United

Former Leeds United midfielder Johnny Giles says that owner Massimo Cellino should "get out" of the club after sacking a second manager in two months.

Former Leeds United midfielder Johnny Giles has said that owner Massimo Cellino should "get out" of the club.

The Italian sacked manager Darko Milanic after just 32 days in charge following yesterday's 2-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, making him the second manager to be sacked at Elland Road this season, and the third since Cellino took charge in April.

Giles, who won two league titles during his 12-year spell at the club from 1963 to 1975, told BBC Radio 5 live: "I think the best thing he could do is get out of the club and make way for a new owner who could work in the best interests of the fans."

Milanic had replaced Dave Hockaday, who was dismissed in August after a 70-day stint at the club, while Brian McDermott left the club over the summer.

Academy boss Neil Redfearn is expected to take permanent charge of the first team from Monday.
