LONDON (Reuters) - Leeds United have parted company with manager Steve Evans after he spent just seven months in the Elland Road hot seat, with the Championship club looking for a "different approach".

"Steve completed the job he was brought in to carry out, to keep the team in the Championship, and his hard work here has been greatly appreciated," chairman Massimo Cellino said in a statement on Tuesday.
