Massimo Cellino

Getty Images | During his tenure at Leeds United, Massimo Cellino was banned on three occasions by the authorities after also being convicted of tax evasion in Italy. Since leaving Leeds United the 62-year-old has taken over Serie B side Brescia.

Former Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino decided to ban Garry Monk’s agent, James Featherstone, from the club due to their close relationship. 

Cellino spent days looking at the club’s CCTV footage to make sure Monk wasn’t sneaking Featherstone into the club’s training ground.

Birmingham City and Middlesbrough have also criticised Monk and Featherstone’s close professional relationship.
