Fulham confirm Scott Parker as permanent manager

Fulham have confirmed Scott Parker as their permanent manager ahead of their return to the Championship.

The former England midfielder took over from Claudio Ranieri as caretaker manager in February and led the club to a hat-trick of wins and clean sheets after their relegation was confirmed.

“I’m delighted to be appointed Head Coach of Fulham Football Club and I thank the Chairman for entrusting me with this responsibility, as well as the support and encouragement that both he and Tony Khan have provided me,” Parker said.
