Scott Parker exits Burnley by mutual consent as the club confirms Premier League relegation. The 45‑year‑old, who guided the Clarets to a 31‑match unbeaten run and 30 clean sheets, leaves Turf Moor after just one season back in the top flight. Burnley’s board thanked him for his professionalism and dedication in this season of change.

Burnley’s relegation followed a 0‑1 loss to Manchester City that sealed their drop with four games left. The club had won only four league matches this campaign, a stark contrast to the promotion push under Parker. The announcement signals a new era as the board begins searching for a successor ahead of 2026/27 in the the.

Mike Jackson will assume interim duties for Burnley’s final four fixtures, starting with a home clash against Leeds. The interim period will see the club evaluate options while maintaining competitive focus. Fans will follow the remaining matches closely as Burnley fights to secure a place in the Championship and regroup for next season.

Parker said it was an immense privilege to lead the club, praising the players and staff. He reflected on the promotion season’s historic 31‑match unbeaten run and expressed gratitude to owners and fans. Burnley’s board has not yet spoken to candidates, leaving the search open as the club prepares for the Championship campaign in 2025.
