Bournemouth sacks manager Scott Parker after Liverpool loss
The HinduBournemouth manager Scott Parker was sacked by the newly-promoted Premier League club on Tuesday, three days after it was beaten 9-0 by Liverpool at Anfield for its third successive defeat. “I would like to place on record my gratitude to Scott and his team for their efforts during their time with us,” the club’s owner Maxim Demin said in statement. “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.” The club said the search for a new manager would begin immediately and that first team coach Gary O’Neil would take over in the interim. Parker said that he was “not surprised” at the result and that he need some new signings to strengthen his side, which had finished second in the second-tier Championship last season.
