Club Brugge announced the dismissal of its British coach Scott Parker on Wednesday March 8, the day after the heavy 5-1 defeat against Benfica, synonymous with elimination in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Former coach of Fulham and Bournemouth in England, Parker was appointed less than three months ago. The bitter failure in the round of 16 of C1 Tuesday evening 5-1 in Lisbon, which had already beaten Bruges (2-0) in the first leg, precipitated the departure of the technician. Scott Parker had replaced Carl Hoefkens at the end of December, following a series of poor results. At the same time, Bruges is fourth in the Belgian championship.
