Leeds United have appointed Steve Evans as their new head coach, replacing the sacked Uwe Rosler.
Evans, 52, who has signed a rolling contract until 30 June, is Leeds' sixth head coach since Massimo Cellino took over the club in April 2014.
Rosler, 46, was sacked on Monday after just 12 games in charge with Leeds 18th in the Championship.
Meanwhile, Cellino has been banned from running the club by the Football League for the second time in a year.
Cellino was found guilty of an offence under Italian tax legislation (http://www.football-league.co.uk/news/article/2015/football-league-statement-massimo-cellino-2752570.aspx)relating to the non-payment of VAT on the importation of a Land Rover vehicle, leading him to be disqualified under the owners' and directors' test.
The Italian has until 28 October to appeal against the decision.
He was banned by the Football League in December after they obtained documents from an Italian court, which had found Cellino guilty of tax evasion in relation to his failing to pay import duty on a yacht.
The former Cagliari owner returned to the club's board in May after having his initial ban extended from 10 April to 3 May.
