Burnley have confirmed the appointment of former Fulham and Bournemouth boss Scott Parker as their new manager on a three-year contract.
The Clarets, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, had 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, they finally have the person they are backing to take them forward.
