Benito Carbone opens up on 'criminal' treatment from ex-Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino

Former Premier League star Benito Carbone has accused ex-Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino of treating him 'like a criminal' when he was sacked from his role as a special consultant at the Whites back in 2014.

The Italian, who had stints with Sheffield Wednesday, Aston Villa and Bradford, only spent a few months at Elland Road and Thorp Arch trying to help rebuild the club's academy but was swiftly fired when Cellino came into the club.

Now Carbone has spoken about what it was like being on the Italian businessman's chopping block, and how he didn't even tell him he was sacked in person.
