Scott Parker has been sacked as Club Brugge head coach after just 12 games in charge of the Belgian club. Brugge announced the departure of the former Fulham and Bournemouth boss in the wake of their 5-1 defeat to Benfica on Tuesday that saw them crash out of the UEFA Champions League.

In a terse statement posted on their official website, Brugge said: “Scott Parker is no longer head coach of Club Brugge. ℹ️ Scott Parker is niet langer hoofdcoach van Club Brugge. — Club Brugge KV (@ClubBrugge) March 8, 2023 “Parker (42) was announced as the new head coach of Club Brugge on December 31 last year.

It is simple and cool, and because of who Jimmy grew up to be it is memorable. Not that Parker, who was 13 and at Charlton’s academy when the ad was made, looks back at it with huge fondness. “I was known as the McDonald’s boy for large parts,” he said in a recent interview. “It was horrendous.”
