Fulham have appointed Scott Parker as their new permanent manager ahead of the club’s return to the Championship.
The 38-year-old, who began the season as assistant to Claudio Ranieri, took over as caretaker boss when the Italian was sacked at the end of February.

Parker will lead Fulham into the Championship
He could not save the Cottagers from relegation, but after a run of three wins in his last four games, the Englishman has earned the job on a permanent basis.
Fulham chairman Shahid Khan praised the former midfielder for transforming the west Londoners into a better club during his brief spell in charge.
The business tycoon has now tasked Parker with delivering an immediate return to the Premier League next season.

Khan said: “Scott was brave to accept a very difficult challenge in February when appointed as our Caretaker Manager.
“Since that time, day by day, whether in training or on matchday, we’ve undeniably become a better football club.
“Scott will now have another challenge to face, and that is to return Fulham to the Premier League. I fully believe Scott is more than up to the task.

Results have finally improved under Parker
“I appreciate that he’s been clear for many years that his ultimate goal is to excel as a manager, and he will be given every opportunity to succeed at Fulham.
“I also have no doubt that he knows and loves this Club every bit as much as our supporters, and that’s an intangible that everyone can welcome.”
Parker expressed his delight, and with Fulham’s relegation already confirmed, says he has already started preparing for next season in the Championship.
