Swansea confirm departure of head coach Steve Cooper
Championship side, Swansea City, have announced that head coach, Steve Cooper, has left his position at the club on Wednesday.
UK Guardian reports that the 41-year-old who led the club to successive Championship play-off finishes (including last season’s play-off final against Brentford) made clear his concerns over the direction of the club.
The former England Under-17 manager has attracted interest from Crystal Palace and Fulham before both clubs appointed Patrick Vieira and Marco Silva, respectively.
Cooper said: “I am very proud of what we have achieved over the past two seasons, especially getting to the play-off final, but it feels like a good time for all parties to make a change.
“It is a fantastic club, with incredible supporters and I am very grateful to them, to the players and all the staff for making me so welcome here. I wish the team every success for the future.”
Swansea have not named a temporary replacement yet for Cooper as they travel to Blackburn Rovers for their first match of the season in less than three weeks.
