Former Nottingham Forest, Leicester and Swansea manager Steve Cooper has been named head coach of Danish club Brondby. The 45-year-old has signed a three-year contract and takes over from Frederik Birk, who was sacked with the club fourth in the table after 4 games. Cooper's first match in charge will be Saturday's home derby at Brondby Stadium against league leaders FC Copenhagen. Brondby director of football Benjamin Schmedes said Cooper has a "rare combination of youth and experience, vision and personality" and can "lift both the individual player and the entire club to a new level". "We want to accelerate our development so that we can achieve the ambitious sporting goals we have and, not least, install a winning culture within the walls of Brondby Stadium,"
Cooper has more football nous than anyone who posts on here. He did a good job at Swansea, better than any of his detractor's ever achieved.
When you look at the players he had at his disposal, he should have got promotion. Morgan Gibbs-White, Marc Guehi, Connor Gallagher etc. He didn’t so must be deemed a failure.
I agree, wasn't a huge fan of Cooper, but he wasn't the worst or best manager we had. It's water under the bridge now and we need to concentrate on what we have now
