Burnley at risk of major promotion race setback amid issue Daniel Farke encountered at Leeds United

Leeds United rivals Burnley have already started pre-season training ahead of the new Championship season but their hunt for a new manager goes on. More than four weeks have now passed since Vincent Kompany opted to leave Turf Moor to join Bayern Munich and a host of names have been linked with the role since. Frank Lampard was the early favourite but seems to have dropped out of the picture, while Scott Parker and Liam Rosenior have been strongly linked with the job, too.

However, the club couldn't officially appoint him until July 4, with the club a day into their short pre-season campaign by that point. The German only missed pre-season testing on day one, something the club's remaining fitness staff oversaw, and he managed to hit the ground running once he was formally in place. The situation was far from perfect of course and it was made tougher by the mess Farke and the 49ers walked into with senior players leaving the club in their droves.
