Steve Cooper is a well-known coach profile on the ball island. He led Swansea to two near-promotion to the top flight. Then Nottingham Forest to the historic return to the Premier League. Now Cooper jumps up and down on the sidelines on Danish turf. After the Englishman took the job as Brøndby coach this summer, several English coaches have turned to Nordic football.
This autumn, Graham Potter agreed to lead the Swedish national team, the same coach who comes from great success with Brighton and two not particularly memorable stints as manager of Chelsea, then at West Ham. Now an Allsvenskan club has jumped on the bandwagon, and has called Michael Beale.

On Saturday, the Swedish Expressen reported that AIK, the seventh best club in Sweden, has contacted Beale about the coaching job. Mikkjal Thomassen is currently the head coach of AIK, but his future at the club is supposedly uncertain, as he may move on.
Michael Beale has been Steven Gerrar’s wingman at Rangers, Aston Villa and Al Ettifaq. As head coach, Beale has experience at Queens Park Rangers, Sunderland and Rangers. Currently without a club, the Englishman will now be tempted to Nordic football.
