If you face fits in management you're set for life no matter how many time you screw up.

Cooper led Swansea to the play offs twice, took Forest from bottom of the league to promotion and got sacked by Leicester after 3 months.

I'd say he's more than earnt another chance?

And his short record at Leicester was more impressive than NIstelroy's who replaced him

It would if he took the stocking off his head. Looks like a very lame 60s bank robber.

There really are some shitty people on this message board. You can only imagine how insignificant they must be in real life.

I would never comment on Coopers appearance just the fact he seems to get lots of opportunities
Maybe he's just lucky?

It’s not like he’s getting another Premier League gig here. If anything, it might be considered surprising he’s going to Brondby considering he took Forest from relegation candidates to promotion and barely had a proper chance at Leicester.

There's more to being a good manager than just getting a team to the highest position, and, whilst he was getting good results on the pitch, maybe he's not so good at the other requirements.

Good move.

English coach going abroad, gaining experience and knowledge , what’s not to like. A good move for him.

The lack of English coaches at the top level of football is marked. So to see one taking on a different challenge is refreshing to see.

Brondby managed by Cooper once managed by Thomas Frank

Spurs managed by Thomas Frank once managed by Ange

Forest managed by Ange once managed by Cooper

Are you saying he doesn't deserve the jobs he's been given? Could you elaborate as to why that is? As others have said he has a decent track record.
