The huge target set by Fulham owner Shahid Khan after appointing Scott Parker as head coach

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.

Scott Parker's first words after being confirmed as Fulham head coach ahead of Newcastle clash  

"I fully believe Scott is more than up to the task. I appreciate that he’s been clear for many years that his ultimate goal is to excel as a manager, and he will be given every opportunity to succeed at Fulham.

"I also have no doubt that he knows and loves this Club every bit as much as our supporters, and that’s an intangible that everyone can welcome.”
