Scott Parker leaves Burnley by mutual consent after Premier League relegation

Burnley head coach Scott Parker has left the club by mutual consent, eight days after their relegation from the Premier League.

Parker's side were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City on 22 April to drop into the Championship for the second time in three years.

They have won just four of their 34 league games this season and have taken only one point from their past eight matches.

Parker's assistant Mike Jackson will take charge of the side for the last four games of the season, starting with Friday's trip to Leeds United.
