New Burnley manager Fabio Celestini has made a positive first impression and says his experience transforming Basel equips him to reverse the club's poor Championship form.
Fabio Celestini has taken charge of Burnley and expressed confidence in his ability to reverse their struggling form. The Clarets are 22nd in the Championship after a poor start to their campaign, having won just one league game and sitting two points adrift in the bottom three.
Celestini drew on his experience at Basel, where he led the Swiss club from the bottom of their league to win the domestic double within 18 months. 'We did a great job all together with the club and the players. In 18 months, we came from last to the double,' he told BBC Radio Lancashire.
He acknowledged the urgency of the situation at Burnley, saying the timeframe to make an impact is drastically different from his previous roles. 'When you come in June you have maybe five weeks to work,' he said. 'Here you have 48 hours, so the mission can't be the same. It's like you are in hospital and it is urgent.' His first game ended in a goalless draw with Portsmouth, with QPR next to visit on Tuesday.
