Bournemouth announced their decision on Tuesday, August 30 after they suffered a 9-0 hammering at the hands of Liverpool on August 27.
Parker was appointed as Bournemouth manager in the summer of 2021 after his departure from Fulham. He led them to promotion in his first season at the club as they finished second in the EFL Championship, behind Fulham.
They made an excellent start to their Premier League campaign, beating Aston Villa 2-0 at home on the opening weekend. However, their next run of fixtures did the Cherries no favors.
They faced reigning champions Manchester City, table-toppers Arsenal and Liverpool in their next three matches and lost against all three by an aggregate scoreline of 16-0.
Bournemouth currently sit in 17th position in the Premier League table, just one point above Everton in the relegation zone.
After Bournemouth announced Parker’s sacking, fans took to Twitter to slam the decision. Here are some of their reactions:
Bournemouth stated in their statement that first-team coach Gary O’Neil will manage the side until they find a new manager.
The Cherries will face Wolverhampton Wanderers at home next in the Premier League tomorrow (August 31).
