Steve Evans has recalled the "extraordinary meetings" he had with former Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino. The former Whites owner gave Evans the job as Leeds boss in 2015 on a rolling contract, but he would only last until the end of the season.
The former Whites boss has recalled how his knowledge of Leeds' youngsters, the likes of Sam Byram, Charlie Taylor, Kalvin Phillips and Lewis Cook, gave him an upper hand in talks with Cellino. The Whites would finish mid-table under Evans before the club was sold, a move that saw Evans part company at Elland Road.
"After I left [Rotherham], an even bigger opportunity came up," Evans told Coaches View. "One I just couldn’t turn down. I got a call from Massimo Cellino at Leeds.
