Everyone has something to prove - Burnley's Parker

Everyone at Burnley has "something to prove" after relegation from the Premier League last season, says the club's new head coach Scott Parker.

The 43-year-old succeeded Vincent Kompany, who joined Bayern Munich in a shock move despite the Clarets suffering an immediate return to the Championship.

Parker's most recent job was at Belgian side Club Bruges, where he was sacked in March 2023 after lasting just 12 games, which he described as a "bad experience".

The former England midfielder is familiar with English football's second tier, having guided both Fulham and Bournemouth back to the Premier League.
