Club Brugge sack Scott Parker after Champions League thrashing

Club Brugge have sacked Scott Parker as after the Belgian champions were thrashed by Benfica in the Champions League and following a poor run of results under the English coach.

Parker’s sacking after a little over two months in the job was confirmed in a short statement. “Scott Parker is no longer head coach of Club Brugge,” Brugge said.

“The ex-England international previously worked for Fulham and Bournemouth and replaced Carl Hoefkens. In 12 games, the Briton could only win two times.”

Brugge lost 5-1 at Benfica on Tuesday in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie to go out 7-1 on aggregate.
