Scott Parker EXCLUSIVE: Fulham caretaker wants permanent manager job and aspires to be on same level as Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp
Scott Parker has told talkSPORT he wants to continue as Fulham manager next season, but is yet to discuss his future with the relegated clubs owners.The interim boss, who replaced Claudio Ranieri in February, has boosted his chances of landing the permanent job by guiding the Cottagers to back-to-back Premier League wins over Everton and Bournemouth.According to reports Parker has the full support of his dressing room, with Fulham players apparently keen for the former captain to remain in charge in the Championship next season.3

Scott Parker has been widely tipped to get a full-time job at Fulham

While he could not prevent the clubs relegation from the top flight, with the damage done long before he arrived, Parker has lifted the mood at Craven Cottage and has got the team fighting again.The former England international is eager to continue his good work at Fulham, although admits he would be open to taking another job if the clubs hierarchy decide to pursue other options.He has revealed, though, that he has already begun to plan for the clubs pre-season.Im in regular dialogue with the owners, Ive spoken with them numerous times, but regarding my future and where I am come the end of the season its not one weve discussed, Parker said in an exclusive interview with talkSPORT host Jim White. Weve discussed a lot of other stuff regarding signings and plans for pre-season. I said at the start, I will treat it as long-term, thats the person I am in the sense that I plan everything I do.I do know one thing, Ill leave this club in a better place, whether Im here or not come the end of the season. I certainly will leave this club in a better place than it was.Im ambitious. I want to be a football manager, thats ultimately what I want.Its taken me seven or eight years to get into this situation. Ive worked hard, Ive learned, I spent a year at Spurs last year.Thats my main aim. Whether thats at Fulham come the end of the season or whether thats on another path which my career takes me, then so be it.But certainly I want a career as a football manager.3

Parker has won over a lot of fans from his spell as caretaker boss at Fulham

Parker also told talkSPORT he aspires to reach the same level at top Premier League bosses Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp.Both managers have won silverware at the top level and 38-year-old Parker says he willing to put in the hard work to achieve similar heights during his coaching career.He added: When I was a young player making my way in the game, I had other players to look up to and I thought, I want to be as good as him, I want to be as good as Gazza, and its the same now.3

Parker is full of admiration for Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola

Those people now are obviously the Guardiolas and the Klopps of this world. Its these people I look at.I understand how hard it is, but its these people I look at and study and think, thats where I want to get to.But its going to be tough, I realise that.
