Leeds owner Massimo Cellino has lodged an appeal against his latest ban, the Football League has confirmed.
Earlier this month, Cellino was suspended for a second time for breaching the Football League's owners' and directors' rules following a conviction for tax evasion this year.
The Italian, who has three further criminal cases against him still outstanding, had until Oct. 28 to contest the punishment and he has submitted the necessary paperwork ahead of Wednesday's deadline.
A statement from the Football League read: "The Football League can confirm that the legal representatives of Leeds United president Massimo Cellino have lodged an appeal against his recent disqualification under the League's Owners' and Directors' Test.
"The appeal will be heard in due course by an independent League Arbitration Panel.''
Cellino served his previous ban from January until May, having been found guilty of failing to pay VAT on a yacht.
If he is unsuccessful with his appeal, the 59-year-old, who took over at Elland Road in April 2014, will be unable to take part in the day-to-day running of the Championship club, forcing him to pass control to someone else.
However, he is able to continue in his role until the appeal is heard.
The Football League has yet to confirm the length of any ban, but it is thought it would end in June 2016 -- 12 months from the date of his conviction, when it will be spent under English law.
