Steve Cooper under scrutiny at Brondby after six-match league drought | OneFootball

Steve Cooper is under scrutiny at Brondby after a 0-0 home draw with Sonderjyske prolonged a six-match league run without a win. Leicestershire Live reports that doubts have grown over the former Nottingham Forest manager’s position.

Appointed in September, Cooper has endured a difficult recent spell. Brondby sit third in the Superliga, 14 points behind leaders AGF and eight off second-placed FC Midtjylland, with the drought stretching back to November.

Cooper spent almost two years at Forest, guiding promotion in his first season and finishing 16th the next, before departing in December 2023. He then had a five-month stint in charge of Leicester in 2024 after replacing Enzo Maresca.

Former manager Peter Sorensen, most recently at Vejli, questioned the club’s direction and recruitment. “I think we have some pretty strong question marks next to these recruitment errors, which we must see as existing for now,” Sorensen said. He told Tipsbladet.

“The players don't seem to be the right ones. Does the sports director seem to be the right one? He certainly hasn't convinced me of that.

“Does the coach [Cooper] seem to be the right one? I actually doubt that too – even though he has coached some teams in the Premier League.

“I can't see where they are going. There is no recognition in the way they play.”
