Leeds owner disqualified by Football League

Leeds owner Massimo Cellino could be forced to sell the club after the Football League announced the Italian has failed its Owners’ and Directors’ Test.

The unpopular owner successfully appealed against the League’s decision to block his takeover of Leeds in April, but after receiving the detailed evidence from the Italian court that convicted him of tax evasion, the governing body has ruled the 58-year-old is not fit to continue as the club’s president.
