After Scott Parker's unexpected resignation, Burnley Football Club has moved quickly to name Michael Jackson as their interim manager. Jackson will take charge for the final four games of the current Premier League season, starting with a crucial away match against Leeds United on Friday.
The appointment comes with the full backing of the club's existing backroom team, ensuring continuity as the search for a permanent manager begins ahead of the 2026/27 season. Burnley’s official statement emphasized that the process of appointing a new head coach is already underway.
Jackson, who has previously served in various coaching roles within the club, is expected to bring stability during a turbulent time. His leadership will be key in ensuring the team finishes the season strong, with the club facing a critical run of fixtures in their bid to secure Premier League survival.
As the search for a permanent successor continues, all eyes will be on Jackson's performance as Burnley enters the final stretch of the 2025/2026 season.
