Bradford City: Phil Parkinson departs Valley Parade shock
PHIL PARKINSON is set to call time on his reign as Bradford City manager to take charge of Bolton Wanderers.
The 48-year-old, the sixth longest-serving manager in the Premier and Football Leagues, is expected to be unveiled by the Lancashire club tomorrow.
Compensation will have to be paid to release Parkinson, who has been in charge at Valley Parade since August, 2011, but agreement appears to have been reached between the two clubs.
His exit follows last month’s takeover at Valley Parade by German investors Edin Rahic and Stefan Rupp.
