After taking over from Claudio Ranieri, and despite an upturn in performances, Parker was unable to save a Fulham side from an inevitable relegation from the Premier League after just one chaotic season back in the top flight.

However the club’s owners had seen enough from Parker, who had been such a leader during his playing career, to convince them that he was the right man to entrust with the responsibility of bringing them straight back up again. Their possession based game has seen them blow some teams away this season, but despite holding onto the goal scoring talents of Aleksander Mitrovic, they were inconsistent at the beginning of this season and found themselves outside the playoff positions at the early stages of the season.

Four straight wins in November got Fulham climbing the table, but such was their inconsistency that they followed that run of form with three straight defeats.

However they have lost only one of their last 10 games, winning six of them and drawing three as they have closed the gap on the top two, and they are currently level on points with Leeds United, who are in second place.
