The club made the announcement on Tuesday morning on its official website stating that Parker will be replaced in the interim by former Bournemouth midfielder, Gary O’Neil.

The PUNCH reports that Parker becomes the first manager to get the boot in the 2022/2023 season after losing his last three games of the season at the helm.

The statement which quotes club owner, Maxim Demin, reads, “AFC Bournemouth can announce that the club has parted company with head coach Scott Parker.

“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.’

“Gary O’Neil will take interim charge of the team, and will be assisted by Shaun Cooper and Tommy Elphick,” the statement concluded.

Parker’s sacking comes after Bournemouth’s 9-nil thumping against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, having won only the first game of the season against Aston Villa and a Carabao Cup second-round fixture against Norwich on penalties.

The former Fulham captain and coach led The Cherries to promotion to the Premier League after finishing behind his former club in the Championship.

All the relegation spots have now been confirmed, with the Cottagers joining Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion as the three clubs to drop into the Championship.

Fulham conceded two goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half at Craven Cottage after Ashley Westwood and Chris Wood found the net, leaving Scott Parker’s side 10 points from safety with three games remaining.

Scott Parker told BBC Sport “At this moment in time I have nothing but sadness. Now and in the coming days we will have a long hard think and regroup. My job is to make sure these games end in the right way. The club needs to make big decisions. We’ve had a relegation, a promotion, and a relegation. The rollercoaster of that and the highs and lows is not something you want. As a football club, we need to make good decisions and work out where we want to go. Probably. If someone has not watched us this year and watched that game it has summed us up. Very good at times between the boxes but fallen short at both ends. We didn’t start the season too well. Four or five games passed, a brand new team that brings its challenges and putting a team together that understands. The most important. The decisions we make now as a football club are going to be pivotal. Next year is going to be another new squad. We need to get around a table and understand where we want to go as a club. It’s not going to be an easy job to bounce back into this division with so many loans. Most Premier League appearances was probably Loftus-Cheek. Young in age and nouse in this division. We’ve fallen short in key moments at this level and that’s where we need to work”
