Burnley Dismiss Scott Parker, With Steven Gerrard Installed as Bookmakers’ Favourite

Bookmakers price the former Rangers manager at odds-on to replace Parker after relegation.

Overview

  • Burnley parted company with head coach Scott Parker by mutual consent.
  • The club said Mike Jackson will take temporary charge for the rest of this season.
  • Betting markets now make Steven Gerrard odds-on to become the next permanent head coach.
  • Burnley’s relegation is confirmed, which has triggered the search for a new manager at Turf Moor.
  • Steven Gerrard has been out of work since leaving Al-Ettifaq in January 2025 and has said he would take a Championship job, with some pointing to Vincent Kompany’s post-Burnley rise as a possible roadmap.
