The analyst has worked with Parker in all of his management roles to date, having first collaborated during their time with Tottenham’s Under-18 side.

After that, Hill joined Parker at Fulham and Bournemouth before linking up with him once again during his brief stint in Belgium with Club Brugge.

Aside from that, Parker will work within the current coaching team of Craig Bellamy, Mike Jackson, new first-team assistant coach Henrik Jensen and set-piece coach Eliot Tybebo.

“I’ll probably revert back to the staff that were here at the football club. I’ve come to work with these staff,” Parker said.

“I’ve brought one member of staff with me in Jonathan Hill who has been with me since Spurs Under-18s, Fulham and Bournemouth.

“The rest are here to work with and we will try and be successful together.”

The Clarets will need at least one other member of staff, however, as there is currently no goalkeeping coach at the club.

Jelle ten Rouwelaar left at the end of last season to join Ajax, although it’s been reported he’s already on the move to link up with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

There he will work alongside Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was also in the running to succeed Vincent Kompany at Turf Moor.
