The Sardinian businessman has finally completed his takeover of the Elland Road outfit and says the former Reading boss will remain in his post for the foreseeable future.

“For the moment the important thing at Leeds is to pay wages and bills,” Cellino told Sky Sports.

“Then we will start thinking about next season, given that although there are still some matches left the current season is practically over.

“I will meet with McDermott as soon as possible in order to discuss the future. He seems like a good person and he will remain here.”
