Burnley have announced that youth team coach Terry Pashley has been promoted to caretaker manager following the departure of Eddie Howe.

The 34-year-old left the Championship club to return to League One outfit Bournemouth last week.

Burnley have since confirmed that Pashley will take up the duties of the head coach until a permanent replacement is found.

Reports this week have claimed that former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Mick McCarthy has been in talks with the Championship outfit over joining the club.
