Scott Parker has left his position as Burnley coach by mutual consent, the Premier League club said on Thursday after relegation to the second tier was confirmed last week.
Burnley’s relegation was confirmed when they lost 1-0 to Manchester City at Turf Moor last week, their 22nd defeat of the season.
They sit 19th in the standings with 20 points from 34 games and will join Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Championship next season.
“Following the confirmation of the club’s relegation from the Premier League last week, Parker and the board held discussions and mutually agreed that his time at Turf Moor would end,” the club said in a statement.
“During his tenure at Turf Moor, Parker led the Clarets to a record-breaking season in the 2024-2025 season, promoting Burnley from the Championship to the Premier League, with an unbeaten run of 31 games and a remarkable 30 clean sheets.”
Burnley said Mike Jackson and the existing backroom staff would have interim responsibility for the remainder of the season while a search for a new head coach continues.
