Cellino explains Carbone departure from Leeds

Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino has played down Benito Carbone's departure.

The former Inter Milan star was hired as an advisor by Cellino.

But Cellino insists Carbone left a Leeds consultancy role just months after signing on "due to family problems. He couldn't give his all and here I need people 100 per cent committed. I can't allow discounts and must be even more demanding with the Italians.

"We want to buy Elland Road by December, as it's madness to pay £1.5m per year to rent out the stadium. We want to own our home."
