There are some familiar faces among the favourites to become the next Burnley head coach.
Before the Clarets visited Leeds United on Friday (May 1), they struck an agreement to part with Scott Parker. The decision was made following confirmation of the club’s relegation to the Championship, just one year one from their promotion.
Mike Jackson has been installed as Parker’s temporary replacement and was in the dugout for Leeds’ 3-1 victory under the Elland Road lights.
In a statement, the Clarets said: “Scott Parker has left his position as head coach of Burnley Football Club by mutual consent.
“Following confirmation of the club's relegation from the Premier League last week, Parker and the board held discussions and mutually agreed that his time at Turf Moor would conclude.
“During his tenure at Turf Moor, Parker guided the Clarets to a record-breaking season in the 2024/25 campaign, securing Burnley promotion from the Championship to the Premier League, with a 33-match unbeaten run, keeping a remarkable 30 clean sheets.
“The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Scott for his professionalism, dedication and contribution. He leaves with the respect and gratitude of everyone connected with Burnley Football Club.”
