Steve Evans parted company with Leeds United at the end of last season.

Steve Evans revealed on The Noel Whelan Show on BBC Radio Leeds on Friday evening (broadcast from 6pm, November 25, 2016) how Massimo Cellino has helped him since his departure from Leeds United at the end of last season.

Evans parted company with Leeds as the head coach in the summer and was replaced by former Swansea City manager Garry Monk.

The Scotsman was appointed in the role at Elland Road in October 2015 at a time when the team were in danger of getting relegated to League One at the end of the 2015-16 campaign.

The former Rotherham United boss did a decent job at Leeds and made sure that the club remain in the Championship.

Evans, now in charge of League Two outfit Mansfield Town, has revealed how Leeds chairman Cellino has tried to help him since his departure from the West Yorkshire outfit.

“I know he has been very kind with some references he has given to particularly one Championship club and a couple of League One, but I chose not to take any of those positions,” said Evans about Cellino on The Noel Whelan Show on BBC Radio Leeds on Friday evening (broadcast from 6pm, November 25, 2016).

Leeds are going strong in the Championship at the moment and are genuine playoff contenders.

The Whites are currently seventh in the table with 26 points from 17 matches, just a point behind sixth-placed Norwich City.
