Nicky Hayen, once a prominent coach in the Belgian Pro League, recently made the controversial decision to leave Genk for Burnley in the English second tier. However, his move to Burnley has not been successful so far. Since joining midway through the previous season, Hayen averaged 1.7 points per game, securing 13 wins, eight draws, and seven defeats.
Despite these modest achievements, Burnley now finds itself at the bottom of the league, a far cry from the expectations set this season. With only three wins, Hayen's team has suffered four losses and eight draws. The pressure on Hayen is evident, as Burnley currently sits in the relegation zone. As the season progresses and with the upcoming match against Derby looming, it appears that a win against the struggling opponents could be crucial for Hayen's future at Burnley.
Unfortunately, Hayen has also been dealing with injuries, which may provide him with some additional time to right the ship within the team. However, should the situation worsen and Burnley faces a potential relegation, Hayen's impressive track record with Club Brugge ensures that he remains a sought-after coach in the Belgian Pro League.
