Overview
- Burnley dismissed Nicky Hayen after a 14-game spell that produced two wins, with the club confirming his departure following Saturday’s 4-1 loss at Lincoln.
- The Clarets sit 22nd in the Championship with eight points from 12 matches and face urgent pressure to turn results around to avoid relegation to League One.
- Rob Edwards has been interviewed and is the bookmakers’ favourite to take the job, while Carlos Corberan and several other candidates remain strongly linked.
- Reports say West Ham have also made contact with Edwards and that talks with Burnley are developing, which could influence the club’s recruitment timeline before the Portsmouth home game.
- Burnley have not won a home league match since October 18, 2025, and the upcoming Turf Moor fixture could extend that run into a record across England’s top four divisions if the new manager is not in place.
