SCOTT Parker has left Fulham by mutual consent, the club have announced.

The former England midfielder took caretaker charge of the Cottagers in February 2019 on a caretaker basis.

After being appointed manager on a permanent basis in May that year, Fulham secured promotion back to the top flight after beating Brentford in the play-off final.

However Fulham’s Premier League return lasted less than a year after their relegation was confirmed following a 2-0 home defeat to Burnley.

Parker has been heavily linked with the Cherries job, with Jonathan Woodgate’s contract due to come to an end on June 30.

His backroom staff, 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 Fulham.

Parker had been on a contract running until the summer of 2023 which he signed last September.
