Burnley needs a new head coach, and the top sites have identified the leading contenders for the position with the latest next manager odds now out
Despite managing Burnley during their relegation from the Premier League this season, Vincent Kompany is remarkably close to being appointed as Bayern Munich’s next head coach.
This development is quite unexpected. Kompany was not Bayern’s first choice, they previously approached Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, and Oliver Glasner without success but his qualifications, including his fluency in German, have impressed the decision-makers at the Allianz Arena.

Potential Candidates List
Steve Cooper (6/4) and Will Still (7/4) are currently the favorites. Cooper’s success with Nottingham Forest in the Championship, followed by maintaining their Premier League status in 2022/23, makes him a strong candidate.
Known for his ability to develop young talent, a quality Burnley values, Cooper might feel ready to return to management after a brief hiatus.
Will Still, on the other hand, represents a more speculative choice despite his impressive performance with Reims in Ligue 1. The 31-year-old is linked with several Championship clubs, including Burnley, as he considers a move back to England.
Other notable names for next new Burnley Head Coach include David Moyes, who recently left West Ham; former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer; recently dismissed Hull manager Liam Rosenior; and Craig Bellamy, who is currently Vincent Kompany’s assistant unless he chooses to follow Kompany.
