Scott Parker leaves Burnley after Premier League relegation
Apr 30 2026 10:10 · By onefootball.com · 37 Reads
Scott Parker has left Burnley by “mutual consent” following their relegation from the Premier League .
The Clarets were relegated with four games of the season remaining and Parker has left the club ahead of Friday’s away game against Leeds United.
Parker led Burnley to a record-breaking season in the Championship last campaign, where they achieved promotion on the back of a 33-match unbeaten run.
But the 45-year-old will play no part in Burnley’s latest season in the second tier after a third relegation in five seasons was confirmed following defeat to Manchester City last week.
“The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Scott for his professionalism, dedication and contribution,” a Burnley statement said. “He leaves with the respect and gratitude of everyone connected with Burnley Football Club.
“Mike Jackson, supported by the existing backroom staff, will take interim charge for the Clarets' remaining four Premier League fixtures, beginning with Friday's match away to Leeds United.
“The process of appointing a new permanent head coach ahead of the 2026/27 season has begun.”
