Burnley show interest in appointing Craig Bellamy as manager following Scott Parker's departure

Burnley are exploring the possibility of appointing Craig Bellamy as their new manager after Scott Parker's departure, according to reports from BBC Sport. Parker left the club following their relegation from the Premier League, creating a vacancy at Turf Moor.

Watch the highlights:

Bellamy, who has previously managed Cardiff City and been assistant manager at Liverpool and Rangers, is among the candidates being considered as Burnley look to rebuild following their drop to the Championship. The 45-year-old Welshman has been out of management since his brief spell at Cardiff ended in 2022.

Burnley suffered relegation this season after spending heavily on new signings following their promotion to the top flight. The club will now look to appoint a manager capable of mounting an immediate return to the Premier League.

The club's hierarchy are expected to conduct a thorough search for Parker's replacement, with Bellamy among the names under consideration. No appointment has been confirmed as yet, and other candidates may be considered as the process unfolds.
