Bournemouth have sacked manager Scott Parker just days before they are due to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
The ex-Chelsea midfielder guided the Cherries back to the top flight last season, pipping the Reds to a second-placed finish in the Championship. But they have shipped 16 goals in just four games this term, scoring twice.
Parker's last game in charge was a humiliating 9-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, a joint-record scoreline in the Premier League. The result leaves them one place above the drop zone on three points.
