Burnley sack Nicky Hayen after Lincoln rout leaves them in bottom three

Burnley have sacked manager Nicky Hayen after only 14 games in charge. The Belgian, appointed in summer as Scott Parker's successor, won just one match, a 4-0 victory against Watford. Following a 4-1 defeat at Lincoln, the Clarets have fallen into the Championship relegation zone. Having already suffered relegation from the Premier League last season, the club dismissed Hayen amid the threat of back-to-back relegations after winning only one of twelve league fixtures during his tenure.
