Scott Parker has been sacked as manager of Belgian outfit Club Brugge after just 12 games in charge.
The club confirmed the news on Wednesday afternoon in a short statement that lacked any real warmth as it read: "Scott Parker is no longer head coach of Club Brugge.
"Parker (42) was announced as the new head coach of Club Brugge on December 31 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 two times."
