Scott Parker leaves Fulham by mutual consent
Fulham have confirmed that Scott Parker has left the club by mutual consent.
The former Charlton midfielder took caretaker charge in February 2019, before being given the job on a permanent basis in May 2019.
In his first full season in charge of the Cottagers, the 40-year-old led Fulham to promotion to the Premier League by defeating Brentford 2-1 in the Championship play-off final.
The Whites were relegated from the Premier League last season.
Matt Wells (first-team coach), Rob Burch (goalkeeping coach), Alastair Harris (head of sports science), Jonathan Hill (first team match analyst) and Charlie Moore (lead physical performance coach) have also left the club.
Fulham chairman Shahid Khan said: “Through promotion and relegation alike, Scott has always enjoyed my support as our head coach. Scott’s departure does nothing to shake my confidence, however.
“We will hire a new head coach who is capable of achieving our goal of promotion and will be committed to Fulham and its supporters. And we will field a squad that will respond, compete and win. Onward.”
Parker is set to be appointed by AFC Bournemouth.
