Cellino appointed Clotet as his fifth coach as Brescia owner earlier this month but Clotet was sent off for arguing with the officials during Saturday's 2-1 loss at home to Cremonese.

With Clotet banished to the stands, Cellino then took over in the Brescia dugout but could not prevent a defeat for a side who are now 15th in Serie B.

Italy-based journalist Francesco Porzio Tweeted: "Former Leeds president (now at Brescia) Massimo Cellino currently on the bench coaching ‘his’ team. Only in Italian second division."
