Scott Parker has been fired by Bournemouth, making him the first managerial casualty of the 2022–23 Premier League season.
This came following their 9-0 dramatic defeat to Liverpool. After defeating Aston Villa 2-0 at home to start the season, Bournemouth has since lost three straight games.
Over the course of those games, they have given up 16 goals without scoring any.
Cherries co-owner Maxim Demin told the club’s official website: "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."
The Cherries also have announced that Gary O'Neil would be in charge of first-team matters temporarily, with Shaun Cooper and Tommy Elphick offering coaching support.
