Leeds United: Brian McDermott to remain as manager

Leeds have said Brian McDermott will stay as manager, a day after the club's potential new owner Massimo Cellino reportedly told him he would be sacked.

Cagliari owner Cellino has agreed to buy a 75% stake in Leeds, subject to the deal being approved.

But, after a 5-1 win over Huddersfield, Leeds stated that McDermott will remain in charge at Elland Road.

"The club would like to make it clear that Brian McDermott remains our first-team manager," a Leeds statement said. 

"He has not been dismissed from his post as has been suggested. We look forward to him continuing in his role with us in taking Leeds forward."
