Scott Parker has left his position as Burnley’s manager after the club’s relegation from the Premier League. The 45-year-old had a year left on his contract.
A Burnley statement said: “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 31-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.”
