BURNLEY, England (AP) — Scott Parker has left his role as Burnley manager, the Premier League club confirmed on Thursday.
Parker's departure came after relegation was confirmed last week following defeat to Manchester City. The club said the decision was mutual.
"He leaves with the respect and gratitude of everyone connected with Burnley Football Club," the club said in a statement.
Parker led Burnley to promotion to the Premier League last season with an unbeaten run of 33 matches after replacing former manager Vincent Kompany.
He was previously in charge of Fulham, Bournemouth and Club Brugge.
"It has been an immense privilege to lead this great club over the past two years. I have enjoyed every moment of our journey together, but feel that now is the right time for both parties to move in a different direction," Parker said.
Burnley has begun finding a new coach, with assistant Mike Jackson serving as interim for the final four league games.
League Position: Burnley finished second to last in the 20-team division, having won just four matches and lost 22.
FA Cup Exit: Burnley was eliminated from the FA Cup by third-tier Mansfield Town in February.
