The Italian was in charge for just 106 days, winning only three of his 17 games as manager.As a result the Cottagers now lie ten points adrift of safety with 10 games to go, with a return to the Championship looking all the more likely by the day.Parker, who has also worked as Spurs’ Under-18’s head coach, admits he has a daunting task ahead of him but has promised Fulham fans that the club will quickly get into a “better place.”Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT, he said: “I’m a realist and I understand the situation we’re in. I’ve been here as a player [for West Ham and Fulham] and got relegated.Parker was the head coach of Tottenham’s Under-18s before leaving to join Fulham’s backroom team last summer2

“I’ve been in football a long time. I’m under no illusions as to how tough this is going to be.“It’s time for us to take a deep breath, regroup and take our time. It’s not going to happen overnight.“We’ve got some really good players and we shouldn’t be in the position we’re in – but we are.”He continued: “It’s been really tough for everyone over these last few months and the players have struggled to deal with setback after setback, that’s only natural.“At the end of the day we’re competing in the best league in the world, so mistakes are capitalised on and you get punished.“What I’ve got to do as the leader of this group is make it clear to the squad over the coming days and weeks is what exactly I expect from them, as well as the board and most importantly the fans.

Parker is under no illusions as to how big the task in front of him is, which begins when the Blues come to town on Sunday.“We’re playing against a top class team, so it’s going to be difficult,” he said.“This is the type of game though that a lot of the lads have been working towards for so many years following a huge battle to get out of the Championship.“I want them to go out and express their quality and play with some freedom.“They need to embrace the occasion and give absolutely everything they have got in them – that’s the least the supporters deserve to see.”
