New Burnley head coach Fabio Celestini will have a hard introduction to English football with the Clarets languishing down in 22nd in the Championship table.

However, Swiss football journalist Lucas Werder thinks while he lacks direct experience in England, the 50-year-old has found success in a similar situation that might just prove fruitful for his new club.

"I think you can compare this situation with the situation he came into in Basel," Werder told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"They were probably the biggest club in the country, were sitting at the bottom of the table when he took over. He secured them in the first season and then in the second season he won the title with them.

"He knows how to bring a club up from the bottom to the top and it could be something to bring some hope to the Burnley fans."
