Mike Jackson will take the reins at Burnley on an interim basis for the remainder of the season, as the Clarets look to steady the ship heading into their final four fixtures.
Following the departure of Scott Parker, Jackson, alongside the current backroom staff, will guide the team, starting with a crucial clash against Leeds United on Friday night.
In a swift turn of events, Burnley confirmed on Thursday that Parker had left the club by mutual consent, bringing an end to a challenging campaign.
While he masterminded promotion to the Premier League last season, the momentum failed to carry through, as the Clarets struggled to find consistency in the top flight.
As the season unfolded, Burnley managed just four league victories, and ultimately, relegation was confirmed with games to spare: leaving the club searching for a new direction.
Now, with the final whistle of the campaign approaching, Jackson steps into the dugout with the immediate task of restoring pride and finishing strongly.
As the curtain begins to fall on a difficult season, Burnley will be aiming to regroup, respond, and build momentum ahead of the next chapter.
