Scott Parker has had to endure another torrid time in the Premier League as manager.
Parker's 664-day reign at Burnley has ended in disappointing fashion as he leaves the Clarets eight days after being relegated from the top flight.
On three occasions, Parker has proved his pedigree in regrouping a relegated side and returning them to the Premier League.
However, it's in the top division where Parker has come unstuck with Bournemouth,Fulham and now Burnley.
After stints in the Premier League and Championship, the 45-year-old chose a different route and opted for European management.
But 12 games into his tenure at Belgian side Club Bruges, he was sacked.
It was at Turf Moor where the former Premier League player would have an emphatic return to football management.
The Clarets secured 100 points alongside Leeds United last season to secure their promotion and Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire that he spent a “year contemplating” after his time in Belgium.
Unfortunately for Parker, his style and winless runs had already prompted some fans to turn against him.
One Burnley fan on this page said: "Parker has shown at Bournemouth, Fulham and Burnley that the Championship is his limit."
Whether that is the case – he undoubtedly will be "contemplating" where it all went wrong during his final season at Burnley.
