Ex-Leeds boss McDermott still in touch with Cellino

Former Leeds United boss Brian McDermott says he's still in touch with club owner Massimo Cellino.

McDermott - now back in football on the scouting staff at Arsenal - says he keeps in touch with the Italian, despite the circumstances of his departure.

McDermott told Sky Sports: "It's fair to say when Massimo came in, he didn't really just have a little look at it. He came in and he steamrolled the place.

"I have to say, since I've left, I talk to him regularly.

"We get on well, we talk about football and obviously if we'd have known each other a little bit better at the time or if we'd known each other at all, then it might have worked out, and I still believe to this day that if I'd have had another year at this fantastic club, it could have worked."
