Vincent Kompany is yet to be replaced following his departure to Bayern Munich.
It has been a tough season for Burnley fans, marked by the disappointment of relegation from the Premier League.
This blow was only worsened by the announcement that their manager, Vincent Kompany, had been poached by German giants Bayern Munich at the end of May.
However, as the Clarets look to rebuild in the Championship next season, one name seems to be standing out from the rest as the candidate to suceed Kompany.
Scott Parker is the short priced favourite to be the next Burnley manager as he eyes a return to English football.

Who is the favourite to be the next manager of Burnley?
Scott Parker is no stranger to English football having played 368 games in the Premier League and 94 in the Championship and managed over 160 games between his time at Fulham and Bournemouth.
His most recent tenure at Club Brugge didn't quite go to plan as the Englishman was sacked after just 12 games in charge having managed to win just two of them.
However, a return to the same league he earned promotion from in the 19/20 season as the manager of Fulham, might just be what the young manager is looking for.
He is a best price of 4/7 at William Hill to be the next Burnley manager.

Liam Rosenior is the second favourite for the job at a best price of 4/1 available at Sky Bet.
The former Hull manager was controvesially shown the door at the end of the season despite finishing three points outside the Championship play-off places.
He acheived a very respectable 7th placed finish, a vast improvement on their 15th place finish the season before.
Burnley might just have to fend off interest from league rivals, Sunderland who are also reportedly interested in the manager.
Another name that has been in the picture for a while now is Frank Lampard.
Lampard is a best price of 7/1 at Sky Bet to be the next Burnley manager.
The former Chelsea player and manager reached a shortest price of 1/2 for this job after the announcement that Kompany would be leaving however, he has since drifted.
Frank Lampard made his managerial name by leading Derby to the Championship Playoff final in 2019. He earned praise during his first season at Chelsea in 2019/20, finishing 4th and reaching the FA Cup final. However, a string of poor results at the start of the 2020/21 season led to his replacement by Thomas Tuchel.
Lampard returned to management with Everton in January 2022, saving the Toffees from relegation but then experiencing the same fate as his second season at Chelsea when being sacked in his second season.
Ironically, he was given another chance at Stamford Bridge as caretaker manager in 2023, but he managed only one win in 11 matches, resulting in Chelsea's first bottom-half finish since 1996, ending the season in 12th place.
