Burnley are soon to be on the hunt for a new manager

Update: 01.07.24
Many names have been linked to vacant managerial position at Turf Moor and former AFC Bournemouth and Fulham boss Scott Parker is once again favourite to succeed Vincent Kompany as Clarets manager.
Prominent contender
Vincent Kompany left Burnley at the end of May to take up residence at Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and the Clarets are still searching for a suitable successor to take the newly relegated side back up to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Many names have been linked with the vacant position since Kompany’s departure and prominent amongst these has been Scott Parker who is without a job after being sacked by Club Brugge.
Fits the bill
The 43-year-old would certainly fit the bill at Turf Moor, having taken Fulham to the Championship play-offs at the end of the 2019/20 campaign and a subsequent promotion to the top-flight. The Englishman finds himself odds-on favourite for a return to the second tier of the English game with some bookies going as low as 8/11 (best price 4/5) that he is appointed by Burnley as their new manager this summer.
Twists and turns
There have been many twists and turns in the search for a successor to Kompany and several names have been at the top of the betting at one point or another. Ruud van Nistelrooy was one such name linked with the post although he has taken up residence at Old Trafford as assistant to Erik Ten Hag. Current acting head coach Craig Bellamy has also been touted as one of the most likely contenders and he was favourite only a few days ago, however he has since drifted in the market and he is now a best price of 3/1 to be given the gig.

Update: 27.06.24
The fixture list for the 2024/25 Championship campaign have recently been announced and as such, the pressure is piling up on the Clarets as they step up their search for a new manager.
No plans in place
It’s fair to say that Burnley wouldn’t have had plans in place to deal with the departure of Vincent Kompany, however one can hardly blame him for upping sticks and leaving for Germany when Bayern Munich came calling. The Belgian manager lifted the Clarets into the Premier League at the end of his first season at the helm and while the Lancashire side dropped back down to the second tier in 2023/24, there was a general expectation that Kompany would still be in the dugout for the following campaign.
Twists and turns
Now that Kompany is at the Allianz Arena, the Clarets are stepping up their search for a suitable replacement and thus far there have been several twists and turns as the club consider their options. Indeed, only a few days ago it seemed likely that former PSV Eindhoven boss Ruud van Nistelrooy would take the reins, however it now seems that he will instead become assistant to Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United. As such, another name is out of the running in the race to become next Burnley boss.
Caretaker manager
Craig Bellamy is currently acting as caretaker manager at Turf Moor and he is currently favourite to be appointed on a permanent basis, however the Clarets face competition here following reports that he is being targeted as a replacement for Rob Page who was sacked as Wales head coach at the weekend. As such, it’s still very unclear as to whom will take charge at Burnley this summer and there’s every reason to expect more twists and turns before Kompany’s replacement is announced.

Update: 20.06.24
Burnley waved goodbye to manager Vincent Kompany when he decided to up sticks and move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and the Clarets now have a vacancy needing to be filled.
Close to agreeing terms
Former PSV Eindhoven boss Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly close to agreeing terms with Championship side Burnley with regard to becoming their manager ahead of the 2024/25 campaign. Club owner Alan Page has made it clear that he wishes to have a well-known name in charge of the side and Van Nistelrooy certainly falls into that category, while he has a solid coaching background. The Dutchman is on the verge of signing a multi-year deal with Burnley and the bookmakers go as low as Evens (best odds 2/1) that he takes the reins as successor to recently departed Vincent Kompany.
Matter of time
Over the past few weeks, numerous names have been linked to the vacant position at Turf Moor including Scott Parker, Frank Lampard, Liam Rosenior and Craig Bellamy, however Van Nistelrooy has been firm favourite to become next Clarets boss for some time now and it seems only a matter of time before his appointment is announced by the club.
On the cards
Van Nistelrooy’s managerial career got underway at Jong PSV where he won 11 of his 38 matches in charge. He then took charge at PSV Eindhoven where he lost just 8 of his 51 games at the helm. Having spent twelve months without a position, a return to the dugout seems to be on the cards and taking Burnley back to the Premier League at the first attempt would certainly be a challenge which he would relish.

Update: 17.06.24
The search for a new manager at Turf Moor continues with several names still very much in the frame.
Merry-go-round
The managerial merry-go-round continues ahead of the 2024/25 campaign with many high-profile clubs busily searching for a new face in their respective dugouts. Bayern Munich managed to prise Vincent Kompany from Turf Moor as a replacement for outgoing Thomas Tuchel and the Clarets are now in the market for a suitable replacement, the current frontrunner being former Manchester United favourite Ruud van Nistelrooy who is a best price of just 5/4 with the leading UK betting sites (lowest odds 1/2).
One of the favourites
Should the Dutchman take the reins at Turf Moor this summer, then his sole remit will be to lift Burnley back into the Premier League at the first time of asking following their relegation at the end of 2023/24. Should Burnley manage to keep their core players, then they should have a decent chance of bouncing straight back up and they are one of the favourites to do so next season.
Early stages
Van Nistelrooy is very much in the early stages of a fledgling managerial career but at PSV he proved himself by winning the Dutch Cup in his single season in charge. Ruud is regarded as one of the best ever strikers to play for Manchester United with 150 goals scored for the Red Devils in 219 appearances, however he won only a solitary Premier League trophy during his time at Old Trafford, a five-year spell at the club coming to an end on the back of an infamous falling out between himself and Sir Alex Ferguson.

Update: 13.06.24
Burnley are looking for a new manager following the departure of Vincent Kompany.
Flying start
The 2024/25 Championship season is fast approaching and Burnley will be eager to get things off to a flying start in the second tier. The Clarets waved goodbye to popular manager Vincent Kompany last month and they suffered relegation from the Premier League in what was a hugely disappointing campaign, therefore the club will be desperate to appoint a manager who can send the side back into the top flight at the first time of asking.
Popular appointment
Many names have been in the frame since the departure of Kompany to Bayern Munich and foremost amongst these has been Scott Parker who isn’t a stranger to football on these shores having played 368 Premier League games and 94 in the second tier. He managed 160 matches during his spells at Bournemouth and Fulham and he would certainly be a popular appointment at Turf Moor.
Compensation fee
The leading UK bookmakers go a best price of 4/7 that Parker becomes the next manager of Burnley and given that he is without a job after being sacked from his most recent appointment as manager of Club Brugge, there wouldn’t be any compensation fee for Burnley to pay in order to bring him to the club.
Controversial
At a best price of 4/1, Liam Rosenior is second favourite to become next Burnley manager. Rosenior was controversially given the heave ho by Hull City at the end of last season, despite the fact that the club finished a creditable seventh in the Championship table, only just missing out on the play-offs by a mere three points.

Vacancy to fill
Having failed to lure either Julian Nagelsmann or Xabi Alonso to the Allianz Arena, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich decided to appoint Vincent Kompany as their new manager, leaving newly-relegated Burnley with a vacancy to fill. The Clarets have dropped down into the Championship after finishing second bottom at the end of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign and favourite to take the reins and make a bid for immediate promotion is none other than Frank Lampard, the former Derby County and Chelsea boss still top of the betting despite his odds drifting from 10/11 to as high as 2/1 in recent days (as of Tuesday, 11th June).
Second season syndrome
Lampard took Derby County to the Championship play-off finals in 2019 and he steered Chelsea to a top four finish and an FA Cup final in 2019/20 before he was dismissed the following season following a poor start. He saved Everton from relegation in January 2022 before suffering second season syndrome again and leaving Goodison Park the following season.
Dramatic drop in form
The former Derby County, Chelsea and Everton boss has been out of work for twelve months, his most recent appointment being as caretaker boss at Stamford Bridge. Whilst there, he oversaw a dramatic drop in form and managed just a single win in eleven games, the worst of any Chelsea manager, caretaker or otherwise.
Van Nistelrooy
The odds on Ruud Van Nistelrooy taking the reins have been decisively slashed over the past five days, the Dutchman now second in the betting to take charge at Turf Moor at a best price of 3/1 (lowest odds 5/2), down from 12/1 just a few days ago. Nistelrooy has been linked with a move to several different clubs and the 47-year-old has put his name forward for consideration for the Burnley position.
Stiff competition
Lampard and Van Nistelrooy are neck and neck at the top of the betting market to be named as next Burnley manager, however they face stiff competition in the form of Craig Bellamy (6/1 best odds) who is acting as caretaker manager for the Clarets for the time being. Bellamy became a first team coach at Burnley in July 2022 under Kompany but he has no first team managerial experience under his belt as yet. Carlos Corberan and Marti Cifuentes are also 6/1 to take the reins at Turf Moor during the summer.
(odds correct as of Tuesday, 11th June 2024)
2/1 – Frank Lampard
3/1 – Ruud Van Nistelrooy
6/1 – Carlos Corberan
6/1 – Craig Bellamy
6/1 – Marti Cifuentes

In line to take the reins
Bayern Munich are expected to confirm the appointment of Vincent Kompany as their new boss after the German giants failed to secure the signature of German coach Julian Nagelsmann and Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso. When it became known that Kompany was in line to take the reins at the Allianz Arena, the list of favourites to succeed him at Turf Moor included Steve Cooper, William Still and David Moyes.
Out of work
Steve Cooper has been out of work since being sacked by Nottingham Forest in December and he is one of the favourites to be named as next Leicester City manager, the Foxes on the hunt for a new boss following the announcement that Enzo Maresca will take the reins at Chelsea. William Still left Reims with immediate effect at the end of last season and he is odds-on to be named as next Sunderland manager.
Without a position
Nevertheless, as things stand the favourite to take charge at Burnley is none other than Scott Parker at a best price of 5/2. Parker has been without a position since being dismissed by Club Brugge fourteen months ago after just twelve games in charge. He tasted success at Fulham when he lifted the West London outfit back into the top-flight via the Championship play-offs in 2020.
