Scott Parker was among the contenders to take over at Leeds United in the summer before Daniel Farke was given the reigns – and now, Parker has fallen out of the race to take over at Scottish giants Rangers.
Rangers are on the lookout for a new manager after deciding to sack Michael Beale earlier this month. It comes after the Gers suffered a loss to Aberdeen – and a previous poor string of results under Beale.
Back in the summer, Parker was on a three-man shortlist along with Farke and Carlos Corberan – as per The Guardian. Leeds decided to go with Farke, given he has won the Championship on two occasions.
Parker has also won two promotions with Fulham, though not as Championship winners and Parker has since struggled as manager of Brugge. He was in the running to take over at Ibrox in the last few days.
Sky Sports, though, report that the ex-Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham and Newcastle midfielder is no longer under consideration at Rangers. The Gers are being linked with a whole host of managers.
Parker falls out of Rangers race after summer links with Leeds
Leeds have clearly made the right decision in a move to bring in Farke, with the Whites overcoming a difficult summer but still managing to sit in fifth place as we enter the October international break.
Parker, 42, is a top manager. He has plenty of pedigree and while a move to Brugge didn’t work out, a club like Rangers would make sense. But the Glasgow outfit have decided to go in a different direction.
