Ex-Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino 'locks himself' in dressing room as fans storm stadium

BresciaInGol.com have reported that some of the club's ultras attempted to search for Cellino at the Stadio Mario Rigamont after Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Genoa. The report went onto claim that Cellino locked himself in the dressing room as a result.

Brescia have failed to register a single league win since November and sit at the foot of the Serie B table. Cellino has continued the same approach from his days at Elland Road of hiring and firing managers, with Brescia seeing no fewer than four different managers in the dugout this season.

Aglietti lasted less than a month at the helm, and Clotet returned only to be axed for a second time this season just three weeks weeks later. His successor - Davide Possanzini spent just 13 days in the job, before Daniele Gastaldello was appointed as manager in February.

Cellino dismissed Possanzini after just two games because he reportedly wanted to "play like Robert De Zerbi" rather than sending long balls up to centre-forward Florian Aye.
