Massimo Cellino has started something of a footballing revolution at Leeds United and, as with any upheaval, there are winners and losers.

Last month the Italian, who has just confirmed the sale of his Serie A club Cagliari, declared the Yorkshire club 'has no manager' and compared it to an overweight aeroplane struggling to take off.

This month, Cellino appointed former Bradford City player Benito Carbone as the club's technical consultant, raising further questions over the future of current manager Brian McDermott.

Carbone has made no secret of the fact he wants to one day manage a team in England himself:

The former Bantams, Villa, and Sheffield Wednesday player scored forty-one goals over six years in English football which included brief loan spells at Derby County and Middlesbrough.

He says his career is sure to develop under Cellino's leadership.

It is fantastic to work for him. I want to grow and with him you grow. He understands football, he has good experience, this is the best thing to happen to me in two years. He is incredible, he impressed me.

His development under Cellino may only take "twenty-five days" but Carbone says there are a lot of problems at the club which need to be addressed.

Believe me, at this club, there are a lot of big, big problems. We are trying to sort every single one out before the season starts, sort every problem for every single manager, coach and player because they need to be free. They must only think about playing football. This is the only thing we must do.

Carbone was quick to praise his new boss but says that he had not met the former Cagliari owner before he took on his role at Leeds United.

He is confident though that they pair share the same ambition for the Elland Road side and it is just a matter of time before they return to the upper echelons of world football.

But the Italian urged fans to be patient as the team is developed into a Premiership quality side.
