Leeds United are thriving without Massimo Cellino.

Leeds United will be in action again tonight, hosting Preston North End at Elland Road as they look to keep up their superb start under Marcelo Bielsa.

With a 1-1 draw at Millwall on Saturday afternoon, Leeds remain unbeaten in the Championship under Bielsa, and sit top of the table with three wins and three draws.

Leeds are thriving right now, over a year since former owner Massimo Cellino sold the club – and the Italian is up to his old tricks with new club Brescia.

Cellino took over as Brescia owner in the summer of 2017, and he has continued his reputation as ‘The Manager Eater’ with his latest sacking.

Brescia have today confirmed on their official website that manager David Suazo – man Cellino knows well from his time at Cagliari – has been sacked today after just three games in charge, drawing twice and losing once.

The Honduran becomes the latest manager to be given the boot by Cellino at Brescia; last season, Roberto Boscaglia lasted just four months before being replaced by Pasquale Marino, only for Cellino to re-appoint Boscaglia three months later.

Another three months later, Ivo Pulga came in to replace Boscaglia, and Cellino then moved for Suazo as the new Brescia boss this summer – but he is already out.

That will all be far too familiar to Leeds fans, who saw Cellino sack Brian McDermott, David Hockday, Darko Milanic, Neil Redfearn, Uwe Rosler and Steve Evans during his time at Elland Road – and with another manager gone under his ownership at Brescia, Leeds fans will be delighted to be rid of him.
