Leeds United are currently in 11th place in the Championship table.
Neil Redfearn has told FourFourTwo that Massimo Cellino is not the man to make Leeds United great again.
Redfearn was manager of Leeds in the 2014/15 season, but he was not handed the chance to stay on as boss after the term finished.
Redfearn did a solid job in charge of Leeds, and he helped to bring through a number of prospects at Elland Road – during his time as academy boss.
However, there was a feeling that he was treated badly by the Yorkshire club towards the end of his time there.
And Redfearn does not believe that Cellino will be able to get Leeds back to the big time.
“Leeds is my club and I honestly believe I could have made them great again,” Redfearn said. “If someone gets hold of them then ‘wow’, they could be big. But that person is not Massimo Cellino, I’m afraid.”
Cellino has caused controversy throughout his time at Leeds, and there is a division in opinion from supporters of the Yorkshire club about his ownership.
While some Leeds fans are desperate for Cellino to sell up, others are more protective of the outspoken Italian businessman.
Leeds appear to be going in the right direction at the moment, with Garry Monk now at the helm.
The Whites are currently in 11th place in the Championship table, after winning five of their last six matches.
