Burnley are close to appointing former Fulham and Bournemouth boss Scott Parker as their new manager.
The Clarets, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, have been looking for a replacement for Vincent Kompany ever since he was prized away by Bayern Munich in May.
And now, after a prolonged process that has seen them linked with the likes of Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Frank Lampard and Liam Rosenior, Burnley look to finally have their man.
Parker, 43, has been out of work since being sacked by Club Brugge in March 2023 after an ill-fated two-and-a-half month spell in Belgium.
