Steve Cooper has declared his determination to take Brøndby back to the top of Danish football after being appointed their head coach. The 45-year-old Welshman returns to management for the first time since leaving Leicester last November.
Cooper had previously been a World Cup winner with England Under-17s and had spells at Swansea and Nottingham Forest, whom he guided into the Premier League in May 2022. He has a contract to 2028.
“I want exactly what you want: a team that wins trophies and gets back to the top of Danish football,” Cooper said in an open letter to Brøndby fans on the club website. “I admire the values that the club holds. Its roots in its local community. The dedication of the supporters who follow it.
