Burnley sack manager Nicky Hayen amid poor run

Burnley have parted ways with head coach Nicky Hayen, according to reports from The Independent and The Guardian. The Belgian, who previously managed Genk, had been in charge during a difficult start to the season.

The club, which was relegated from the Premier League last season, has managed just one victory in its 12 league fixtures under Hayen, as reported by The Independent. The decision comes after a heavy defeat to Lincoln, which left Burnley in the bottom three, according to The Guardian.
