Former Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino tests positive for coronavirus

Former Leeds United owner and chairman Massimo Cellino and his daughter have both tested positive for coronavirus. The current owner of Serie A side Brescia believes football shouldn’t resume until the pandemic is fully under control and has called for the end of the campaign. The 63-year-old was in charge of calling the shots at Leeds between January 2014 and January 2017, with six managers getting fired within those three years. Fans had thought the manager eater would help save the club and return them to the English top-flight having taken charge when they were in huge financial trouble.
