Why Tottenham should be keeping tabs on Fulham caretaker manager Scott Parker
On Su♏nday, Scott Parker took charge of his first match as a senior manager when Fulham fell to a narrow🧔 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.
The former Tottenham youth coach showeཧd tremendous promise in revitalising Fulham in his first game in charge, and Spurs would do w♊ell to keep tabs on Parker for a possible management position in the future.
After an illustrious playing career that spanned two decades, Parker spent two years at Tottenham before finishing his playing days with Fulham and hanging up his boots in 2017. The former midfielder then joined Spurs as their U-18’s coach, serving one year in that position b🐈efore linking up with former manager Slavisa Jokanovic as his assistant in SW6.
Parker endured the reigns of both Jokanovic and Claudio Ranieri this campaign, emerging f𝄹rom both failed tenures as the caretaker manager for the Whites’ fin༒al ten matches of 2018/19.
And in just his first week at the helm, the 38-year-old has already shown his considerable talents. Players were smiling again at traininꦓg, the right things were said in his press conferences, and the side finally played to its potential.
Parker’s managerial car🐲eer is still in its infancy and there is little indication as of yet that he has the abilities to m💎anage a top-class, title-chasing team. But with his impressive debut match against Chelsea, coupled with his remarkable reversal of the atmosphere at Fulham, Parker appears to be following the likes of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard into management at an early age.
With Mauricio Pochettino li💝kely to garner considerable attention in the f💜ollowing years from Manchester United and Real Madrid, Tottenham would be smart to keep an eye on Scott Parker.
Appointing Parker as an assistant in the short-term could pay dividends, granting Spu⛦rs a young, promising English manager for the future.
