Steve Cooper has had lots of offers since losing his job at Leicester, including many in the Championship.

While there was a time when he would have jumped at that chance, Brondby appeals because it offers an experience and targets he is not used to.

Firstly, the aim is silverware. Four years ago Brondby were Danish champions. Two years ago they finished second.

Currently four points behind leaders Copenhagen after seven games, Cooper’s aim is to compete for silverware and secure European qualification.

The Welshman feels there is scope for massive improvement and a real potential to move upwards. Crucially, the club’s ownership is aligned with that thinking.

Cooper wants to develop as a coach. He feels working abroad is the best way to do that – and also show a pathway for other British coaches with first-team experience to follow.
