Scott Parker has left his position as Burnley manager with immediate effect, the club announced. According to the official statement, the parting of ways was by mutual consent. This development comes eight days after the team was officially relegated from the Premier League following their loss to Manchester City. Mike Jackson, who previously served as Parker's assistant, will take charge of Burnley for the remaining four matches of the season, starting with tomorrow's away fixture against Leeds.
Parker replaced Vincent Kompany in the summer of 2024 after Burnley had once again dropped out of the top flight. In his very first season, he guided the team back to the Premier League, with the squad remaining unbeaten in 31 matches and keeping 30 clean sheets.
"It has been a tremendous privilege to manage this great club for the past two years. I have enjoyed every moment of our journey together, but I feel now is the right time for both parties to move in different directions."
"I look back with immense pride at what we achieved during my time at the club, especially our unforgettable promotion season in 2024/25. It was a true honor to lead this team in the Premier League," Parker stated.
"The club would like to express its sincere gratitude to Scott for his professionalism, dedication, and contributions. He leaves with the respect and thanks of everyone associated with Burnley Football Club," added the statement from Turf Moor.
