Scott Parker has been sacked for the second time this season, little over six months after he was dismissed as AFC Bournemouth manager following their 9-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool.
The former England international, who was infamously once handed the Three Lions captain’s armband at the expense of Reds legend Steven Gerrard, was surprisingly appointed head coach at Club Brugge in late-December.
However, the Belgian side have sacked the 42-year-old after just 12 games following their 5-1 defeat to Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Brugge, who can call upon former Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet in their playing ranks, impressed in the group-stages to reach the round-of-16, only to suffer a heavy 7-1 aggregate loss with Parker at the helm.
