Bournemouth has announced they have sacked manager Scott Parker just three days after they were hammered 9-0 by Liverpool.
Parker has voiced his frustrations with Bournemouth’s activity in the transfer market this summer, insisting his young team is ‘underequipped’ to take on the challenges of the Premier League.
Bournemouth statement read: AFC Bournemouth can announce that the club has parted company with head coach Scott Parker.
Gary O’Neil will take interim charge of the team, and will be assisted by Shaun Cooper and Tommy Elphick.
Maxim Demin said: “I would like to place on record my gratitude to Scott and his team for their efforts during their time with us. Our promotion back to the Premier League last season under his tenure will always be remembered as one of the most successful seasons in our history.
“However, in order for us to keep progressing as a team and a Club as a whole, it is unconditional that we are aligned in our strategy to run the club sustainably. We must also show belief in and respect for one another. That is the approach that has brought this club so much success in recent history, and one that we will not veer from now. Our search for a new head coach will begin immediately.”
