It's been a season of highs and lows for Burnley, and now the club is facing a major shake-up. Scott Parker has officially parted ways with the Clarets by "mutual consent" following their relegation from the Premier League.

Just last season, Parker was the hero leading Burnley back to the top flight with a record-breaking Championship campaign. The team went on an incredible 33-match unbeaten run, a feat that had fans dreaming of a bright future. But the Premier League proved to be a different beast.

The 45-year-old manager's exit comes with four games still left in the season, and he won't be on the sidelines for Friday's tough away fixture against Leeds United. This marks Burnley's third relegation in just five seasons, a painful pattern that was sealed after a defeat to Manchester City last week.

In a club statement, Burnley expressed their gratitude: "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."

For now, Mike Jackson will step in as interim head coach, supported by the existing backroom staff, to guide the team through their remaining four Premier League matches. But the search for a permanent boss is already underway, with the club confirming that the process for a new head coach for the 2026/27 season has begun.

As Burnley looks to regroup and rebuild, fans will be hoping for a turnaround that can bring back the spirit of that unforgettable Championship run.
