Burnley have appointed Genk boss Nicky Hayen as their new head coach on a three-year deal.
The 45-year-old Belgian replaces Scott Parker, who left by mutual consent at the end of April as the Clarets suffered relegation from the Premier League.
Hayen, who had a spell with Welsh side Haverfordwest County between 2021 and 2022, led Genk to a seventh-placed finish in the Belgian top flight last season.
“I’m pleased to be joining a club with real history and supporters who care deeply about it,” he told the club’s website., external “I know most of them won’t know much about me yet, that’s fair and it’s on me to change it.”
