Burnley have sacked head coach Nicky Hayen after a 4-1 defeat by Lincoln City.
The Clarets were relegated from the Premier League last season and have made a dismal start to their return to the second tier.
Burnley took the lead at Sincil Bank through Andreas Hountondji, but an equalizer from Ben House, followed by a brace from Mikkel Ladefoged, his goals coming either side of a Dom Jefferies effort, secured the points for Lincoln.
This marked Burnley’s sixth defeat of the season, leaving them with their third finish of the season championship table with eight points in 12 games.
And Burnley confirmed in a short statement after the game that Hayen, who only took over in July, had been relieved of his duties.
Burnley host Portsmouth next Saturday.
