Simon Parker has breathed new life into Blackburn Rovers since his arrival in the summer of 2023.
The Englishman led the club to their first top-half finish since earning promotion to the Championship half a decade ago.
Parker began his head coach journey in the FA Women’s National League with Southampton in 2017, emerging from his first campaign with a league and cup double.
He then spent a prosperous stint at Lewes before spending time on the continent, managing Portuguese outfit SC Uniao Torreense and maintaining their position in the top division.
After returning to England to take charge of Rovers last year, he helped take the club from relegation battlers to mid-table comfort and will now hope to help them into the top tier.
