Fulham have appointed caretaker manager Scott Parker as their new permanent boss.

Former England and Fulham midfielder Parker replaced Claudio Ranieri at the Craven Cottage helm in February but was unable to stop the club's Premier League relegation.

Now chairman Shahid Khan has handed Parker the challenge of dragging Fulham back to the Premier League at the first attempt, in next term's Championship campaign.
