There were many who loved Steve Cooper as Nottingham Forest manager. The Welshman with the unique smile lifted Nottingham Forest to the historic promotion to the Premier League, but was weighed too lightly in the world’s toughest league. Then followed the five-month short stay as Leicester coach in 2024. There was a lot of excitement in Denmark when Brøndby persuaded Cooper in September 2025 that his next destination should be in the Danish Super League. Optimism has blown away completely by mid-March.

Steve Cooper is still Brøndby coach, but the Welshman leads a Brøndby that appears almost harmless in front of the opponents’ goal.

For the second time in the club’s history, they have now played five Superliga games in a row without getting on the scoresheet. According to Superstats , it is the second time in the club’s history that Brøndby IF has gone through five full games without scoring.

If you look at games without a win, it also looks bad. Brøndby IF has not won in eight games in a row, and it is the third worst streak in the club’s history. Steve Cooper has only picked up an average of 1.38 points as Brøndby coach, which places him with only René Meulensteen and Auri Skarbalius behind him of all Brøndby coaches.
