Scott Parker has explained his style of play at Fulham will be a mix between Slavisa Jokanovic and Claudio Ranieri - but that he wants to bring pace into the team.

The 38-year-old served under both managers as first team coach this season before being appointed as caretaker boss until the end of the season after Shahid Khan made the decision to sack Ranieri following a 2-0 defeat to Southampton.

This will be Parker's first job in senior football having spent his first year of retirement as Tottenham Hotspur's U18 manager, where in 25 games he won 12 times, scoring 66 goal while conceding 41.

He has a wealth of experience to call upon from his playing days having played under some of management's biggest names, but it's under Jokanovic and Ranieri that he seems he will be taking most of his experience from having seen two contrasting styles of play.

Everyone will be keen to see the team sheets at 1.05pm to see what kind of formation Parker will play, but ahead of that game he's spoken about his style of football and believes some pace may be needed in the side.

He said: "In a nutshell, somewhere in between (Jokanovic and Ranieri).

"I think under Slavisa the playing style was pleasing on the eye with wonderfully, technical, gifted players.

"I’ve learnt from both, it’s been a vital experience for me - to see the pros and cons first hand.

"We have technical players, but maybe we need to bring a bit of pace back into the team especially in an attacking sense."
