From the source
Burnley have sacked Nicky Hayen after only 14 games in charge, in the wake of a 4-1 defeat at Lincoln that left the Clarets in the Championship’s relegation zone.
The Belgian was appointed in the summer as the permanent successor to Scott Parker, who left in April with relegation from the Premier League inevitable.
He leaves having won just one match, a 4-0 league victory at Watford on 10 October. Burnley edged past Notts County on penalties in the Carabao Cup in his first match in charge and recovered in the last seven minutes from 2-0 down to draw at home to West Ham in their opening game of the Championship season.
