The story in brief
5-second readNicky Hayen is sacked after just 14 games in charge at Burnley following a poor start to the season.
From the source
Head coach Nicky Hayen has been sacked after just 14 games in charge at Burnley following a poor start to the season.
Hayen's final game in charge was Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Lincoln City, as the hosts came back from 1-0 down to emphatically condemn the Clarets to a sixth defeat of the campaign and leave them 22nd in the Championship.
Belgian Hayen was only appointed on 10 July to succeed Scott Parker, who left at the end of April days after the Clarets' relegation from the Premier League was confirmed.
