Scott Parker has been relieved of his duties as Club Brugge head coach after just 12 games in charge of the Belgian club.
Brugge announced the departure of the former Fulham and Bournemouth boss in the wake of their 5-1 defeat to Benfica on Tuesday that saw them crash out of the UEFA Champions League.
In a terse statement posted on their official website, Brugge said: “Scott Parker is no longer head coach of Club Brugge.
“Parker (42) was announced as the new head coach of Club Brugge on 31 December 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 2 times.”
Brugge currently sit fourth in the Belgian First Division, the same position as when Parker took over, but 11 points behind third-placed Antwerp.
Whoever was involved in appointing him should be sacked too.
Another lad who’s been given plenty of chances. There’s a serious merry-go-round of managers in the championship who jump from 1 club to the next without ever achieving anything.
@Martin Glynn: two promotions isn’t nothing tbf. But he is a cod.
3 months isn’t enough time for a manager to do anything thing with a team the team have to get to know him and vice versa,I would love to see the people who do the hiring and firing become manager s and see how they get on and see their reaction if they got fired after 3 months they’d soon change their tune
