Controversial Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino has admitted that he "cannot work" with English managers as they "want to control everything".

The Italian took over at Elland Road in 2014 and is currently working with his sixth manager, Steve Evans, who hails from Glasgow.

"I cannot work with English managers," Cellino told The Telegraph. "I never want to learn. I give up. When am I going to find a manager in England who is actually a coach? They want to control everything. But it's wrong because when they go you have to start all over again.

"Sometimes to pretend we were fucking right we don't fire the manager and most of the time we fuck the club because we won't admit we took the wrong guy. Not everyone is Sir Alex Ferguson. All the other managers want to act like Ferguson but they don't have the skills so they cause damage."

Leeds are destined for a mid-table finish in the Championship under Evans this season.
