Former Bournemouth and Fulham boss Scott Parker will be managing in the Champions League this season having been surprisingly appointed as the new head coach of Belgian giants Club Brugge.
The ex-midfielder was sacked by the Cherries earlier this season in the aftermath of a 9-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield. He has been out of the game since August and after being linked to a series of vacancies, has finally found a new position.
Belgian side Club Brugge confirmed on Saturday evening that they have appointed the former England international as Carl Hoefkens’ replacement - the previous boss being sacked earlier this week following a down-turn in domestic form. Parker’s first outing as Brugge boss is likely to come next weekend with a trip to face league leaders Genk.
