Leeds United have sacked head coach Uwe Rosler after five months in charge.

The former Brentford and Wigan Athletic boss was appointed at Elland Road in May after the club decided to not keep on Neil Redfearn.

The Whites are currently 18th in the Championship following Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Rosler has now officially been dismissed, with former Rotherham United manager Steve Evans reportedly set to take charge of the team's training session today.

Leeds owner Massimo Cellino has sacked five managers since he took over the West Yorkshire outfit in 2014.

Rosler has won just two of his 12 games in charge of Leeds.
