Parker leaves after one season in charge. Burnley said: "Following 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 conclude." [1]

Mike Jackson and the existing backroom staff will take interim charge for the rest of the season. Burnley gave no further details on a permanent replacement. [1]
