Marco Silva is Fulham's new manager, it has been confirmed.
Scott Parker left the Cottagers by mutual consent earlier this week - and swiftly took charge of Championship rivals Bournemouth.

Fulham have moved quickly to replace Parker, with former Watford and Everton boss Silva now agreeing a deal to take charge.
He will be assisted by fellow Portuguese and Cottagers legend Luis Boa Morte, who made 250 appearances for the club over a six-and-a-half year spell.
Silva, 42, has been out of work since losing his job at Everton in 2019.
The Portuguese was axed following a thumping defeat by neighbours Liverpool with the Merseyside club in the Premier League's relegation zone at the time.

Silva previously spent six months at Watford, with the Hornets blaming Everton's "unwarranted approach" for him that season as the "catalyst" for their decision to sack him.
He has also managed Hull in the Premier League and has spent time across Europe, with Olympiacos, Sporting and Estoril.
Silva will be tasked with mounting a promotion push at Fulham.
Parker steered Fulham back to the top-flight at the end of the 2019/20 season but they were relegated last season.
