Former Charlton midfielder and Fulham boss sacked by Club Brugge
Scott Parker has been sacked by Club Brugge after just 12 games in charge.
Brugge were dumped out of the Champions League at the Round-of-16 stage last night after suffering a 7-1 defeat across two legs against Portuguese side Benfica.
Parker won just two of his 12 games in all competitions during his short stint at the Jan Breydel Stadium.
The Belgian champions are fourth in Pro League and 19 points off current leaders Genk.
Parker, who also featured for West Ham and Spurs during his playing career, made 140 appearances at Charlton.
He won promotion to the Premier League as manager of Fulham and Bournemouth.
In a statement on their club website, Brugge said: ”Scott Parker is no longer head coach of Club Brugge. Parker was announced as the new head coach of Club Brugge on December 31 last year.
“The English ex-international previously worked for Fulham and Bournemouth and replaced Carl Hoefkens at Club. In 12 games, the Briton could only win two times.”
