Massimo Cellino’s reign of ineptitude carries on apace.
Leeds United have sacked manager Dave Hockaday just days after he was given a stay of execution by the club’s owner Massimo Cellino.
Hockaday was told his job was safe after last weekend’s 4-1 defeat to Watford, but defeat to Bradford in the Capital One Cup was the final straw and Hockaday walks after just six games in charge.
Assistant manager Junior Lewis has also been dismissed, with Neil Redfearn taking over until a permanent replacement is appointed.
Cellino said: “The results since the start of the season have meant we needed to act and make this decision.
“After the defeat at Bradford I realised that my decision to keep David at the club following the defeat at Watford was wrong, and I had to change my mind on the coach’s position.
“As a club we will now begin our search for a new head coach.”
