Club Brugge, the opener of this season’s UEFA Champions League, were outright eliminated from the round of 16 by Benfica (7-1 on aggregate) and the Belgians sacked coach Scott Parker.

Scott Parker sacked by Club Brugge – The coach was sacked in August 2022 by Bournemouth

After about a year and two months on the Bournemouth bench, Scott Parker was released by the British formation (August 2022).

At the end of 2022, the 42-year-old English coach was hired at the opening of the UEFA Champions League season.

Belgians Brugge have contacted the technician who previously coached Fulham as the team reached the last 16 of the Champions League.

Following a nightmare double with Benfica, losing 7-1 on aggregate, Scott Parker was also released from the Belgian Championship side 7 months after leaving Bournemouth.

Obviously, this decision came not only because of relegation from the Champions League, but also because of poor results in the championship.

With Scott Parker on the bench, Club Brugge won just two games (against Sülte-Waregem and Gent). Otherwise, “Bruges” collected 6 draws and 4 defeats.
