Burnley have appointed former England midfielder Scott Parker as their new head coach on a three-year deal.
Parker, 43, succeeds Belgian Vincent Kompany who joined Bayern Munich after failing to save them from being relegated from the Premier League last season.
Parker has been out of work since March 2023, having been sacked by Belgian side Club Bruges after winning only two of his 12 games in charge.
After leading Fulham and Bournemouth from the Championship into the Premier League, Parker will be aiming to do the same with the Clarets.
Parker held a second round of talks with Burnley officials this week and emerged as the preferred candidate.
The Lancashire club also held talks with former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, as well as ex-England midfielder Frank Lampard.
Burnley begin their 2024-25 Championship campaign with a visit to Luton on Monday, 12 August.
