SCOTT Parker has made a shock exit from Cherries, less than four months after guiding the club back into the Premier League.

The former Fulham boss joined the club last summer and piloted his new club into the top flight at the first time of asking.

But it has been a tough few weeks for Cherries in the Premier League, losing their last three matches, including the club's joint heaviest defeat in their history, thumped 9-0 against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.

Parker has regularly spoken of his desire for the club to strengthen the squad over the summer, saying on Saturday the current group are "unequipped" to compete at this level.

Following Parker's sacking, Cherries have confirmed Gary O'Neil will take interim charge and will be assisted by Shaun Cooper and Tommy Elphick.

Cherries host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League tomorrow night.
