Former Newcastle United and Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has made it clear that he is not in the running for the vacant Burnley job, despite rumors suggesting otherwise. Pardew, however, believes that Burnley has a great chance of securing promotion back to the Premier League.
With Leeds United being one of Burnley’s main rivals in the upcoming season, Pardew acknowledges that the competition will be tough. The Latics, on the other hand, are in search of a new manager following Vincent Kompany’s departure to Bayern Munich.
While Pardew remains non-committal about being linked to the Burnley position, he praises the squad and ownership of the club, expressing confidence in their potential for success. He views this as a great opportunity for any manager to lead the team back to the Premier League.
Having successfully guided teams like West Ham and Southampton to promotion in the past, Pardew believes he is up for the challenge. Although he has been out of English football since his time at West Bromwich Albion, Pardew remains open to returning to management in the Championship.
Leeds and Burnley will discover their fixture list for the upcoming season later this month, with the EFL schedule set to be announced on June 26th. Despite the tough competition ahead, Daniel Farke’s men and the other promotion hopefuls will be aiming for success in the new season.
