Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Keni Miller is reportedly a candidate to take over as manager of English Championship club Burnley, according to a report by talkSPORT. Burnley is seeking a new manager after recently dismissing Nicky Eyn following a poor start to the season.
Eyn was officially let go by Burnley on Saturday, just hours after the team suffered a 4-1 defeat to Lincoln. The Belgian coach, who was appointed in the summer on a three-year contract, paid the price for the team's single league win this season, which has left them in the relegation zone.
Miller, 46, is among the names Burnley is considering as a replacement, though the report does not mention any official contact with Maccabi Tel Aviv or negotiations with the Scottish coach. Other candidates reportedly being considered include Scott Parker, Craig Bellamy, Steven Gerrard, and Sean Dyche.
Miller was appointed permanent coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv in June, having initially joined the club's professional staff and later serving as interim coach. He led the team to win the State Cup last season, convincing the club's management to give him the permanent role with an option for an additional season.
Miller has extensive experience in British football, having played for clubs like Rangers, Celtic, Wolves, Derby, and Cardiff, and earning 69 caps for the Scotland national team. His coaching career prior to Maccabi Tel Aviv included spells at Livingston and as interim coach at Falkirk.
Burnley's search for a manager comes after a short tenure for Eyn, who replaced Scott Parker in July. Following their relegation from the Premier League, Burnley is now looking for someone to stabilize the team, and Miller's name is reportedly on their shortlist.
