Burnley, wounded by relegation from the Premier League, have turned to a familiar face in their fight for promotion: Scott Parker (43). The former Fulham and Bournemouth boss has been appointed as the Clarets’ new manager, tasked with leading them back to the top flight.
Parker replaces Vincent Kompany, who departed Turf Moor for the allure of Bayern Munich. The pressure is on for Parker, who has a proven track record of Championship success, having secured promotions with both Fulham and Bournemouth.
