Shahid Khan has confirmed that Scott Parker's sole target is to get Fulham back to the Premier League.
The former midfielder has been appointed as head coach on a permanent basis after holding the role in an interim capacity since February.
He has been given a two-year contract at Craven Cottage.
Speaking to the club website , Khan said: “Scott was brave to accept a very difficult challenge in February when appointed as our Caretaker Manager.
“Since that time, day by day, whether in training or on matchday, we’ve undeniably become a better football club.
“Scott will now have another challenge to face, and that is to return Fulham to the Premier League.
