Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino impressed after meeting players individually

Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino suggests that there will not be wholesale changes at the club this summer after meeting the players individually for the first time.

Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino has suggested that there will not be wholesale changes at the club this summer after meeting the players individually for the first time today.

The Italian, who completed his takeover of the club earlier this year and recently parted ways with manager Brian McDermott, had a one-on-one meeting with each player at Elland Road earlier today.

"They showed me respect and a have a fantastic professionalism towards the club," Cellino told the club website.

"We have a better team than we first thought. All the players are hungry to be involved in this new project at Leeds United."

Cellino is yet to appoint McDermott's replacement. Gianluca Festa and Dave Hockaday are the early favourites for the job.
