Brian McDermott has left Leeds United, and becomes the first managerial casualty of the Massimo Cellino era.
The Italian businessman only took over the English side in January, but has already started at Elland Road what he left behind at Cagliari.
Cellino was infamous for sacking and re-hiring Coaches during his tenure at the helm of the Sardinian outfit – eventually getting rid of tacticians 36 times in 22 years.
And McDermott has become the first with the Yorkshire team, leaving by mutual consent overnight.
“Brian has been very understanding of my wish to implement a new structure," Cellino is reported as saying by the BBC.
“He is a great manager and a great guy. He has been unfortunate to work in such difficult circumstances.”
