Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Keni Miller is reportedly a candidate for the head coach position at English Championship club Burnley, according to reports emerging from England on Tuesday. The news surfaced just hours after Maccabi Tel Aviv secured a decisive 6-2 victory over Hapoel Haifa, reclaiming the top spot in the Israeli Premier League. Miller's work in Israel has attracted attention from Burnley, with the club's management reportedly valuing his performance and considering his recruitment. However, no official negotiations or contact with Maccabi Tel Aviv have been reported at this stage.
Burnley's search for a new manager began after they sacked Nicky Hylton following a 4-1 defeat to Lincoln. The team, recently relegated from the Premier League, is currently struggling in 22nd place in the Championship, having secured only one league win in their first 12 matches. Miller, 46, was appointed Maccabi Tel Aviv's permanent coach last season after leading them to win the State Cup.
Miller is not the only name in contention for the Burnley job. Steven Gerrard is considered the leading candidate, with Carlos Corberán, Sean Dyche, and Rob Edwards also mentioned as possibilities. This development comes at a critical time for Maccabi Tel Aviv, who are enjoying positive momentum and preparing for the Toto Cup final against Hapoel Tel Aviv. Miller is under contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv through the 2026-27 season, with an option for an additional year. Should the English interest materialize into a concrete offer, Maccabi Tel Aviv may face a significant decision regarding their coach's future.
