Although the Championship is a second-tier league, it is a place where hidden tigers are hidden, and it is a proving ground for many promising young managers to compete with each other. Former

Steve Cooper, youth coach and now in charge of veteran club Nottingham Forest, is one example of a prospect.

As a teenager, Cooper was a rising star at right wing for Welsh club Westham, but he didn't end up playing for the first team. Brian Flynn, then Westham's team leader, encouraged Cooper, who was still only 20 years old, to consider taking coaching classes to learn how to coach a team, and Cooper fell head over heels in love with coaching, and by the age of 27, he had become one of the youngest coaches to obtain the pro licence, the highest level of professional coaching qualifications. After obtaining his coaching qualification, Cooper returned to his parent club, Westham, to train the U12 team, and rose through the ranks to become the club's Head of Youth Training until he left the club in 2008.
In September 2008 Cooper was

He was recruited to join the academy and spent the first three years working with different teams to develop their coaching styles and hone their youth training methods. In Cooper's mind, there are three main directions for youth development: 1. breaking down barriers to talent training; 2. enabling trainees to understand the way to win; and 3. taking care of the future development of youth talent. His analysis of the concept is quite popular with the club, in July 2011 he was promoted to the youth training leader, the first year he took a group of under 18 years of age to participate in the game, the average age of the regular back four is still only 16 years old. Although Cooper's tactical philosophy may not be as good as that of his predecessor and fellow player, he is not as good as his predecessor and fellow player.

In 2013 Cooper began helping the English FA and Welsh FA as a mentor for coaching clinics, and later led England's U17s to the 2017 World Youth Cup, where he guided the team to victories over Brazil and Spain.

The youngsters, such as Sinzou of Chelsea, Herschen O'Doul of Chelsea and Arsenal's Smithfield, have all made their mark in their respective clubs today. The following year, he led England's youngest internationals to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Youth League, losing to the Netherlands in a 12-yard shootout. During his time as coach of England's various teams, Cooper established a system of training with and without the ball for coaches at all levels to use as a reference, and also developed training programs for young players.
Cooper was rewarded by Championship club Swansea in June 2019, and the team had a strong run after he took over, scoring 16 points from 18 in the first six games, the best start in Swansea's 41-year history. In the middle of the season he started with

The club brought in a number of young players such as Brewster, Conor Gallagher and Marc Guéhi, with Brewster scoring 11 goals in just half a season. Cooper led his side to sixth place in the league table on goal difference over Nottingham Forest despite the epidemic that halted the season for a while, just in time to qualify for the play-offs for promotion, but in the last two rounds of the final four his side lost 3-2 to Binford and did not qualify for the play-offs. In the second season, his Swansea side went one step further and finished the season in fourth place in the league, and even reached the final of the promotion play-offs, just one step away from the play-offs.

He was only one step away, but lost again to Binford for the second year in a row. After that, he began to have problems with the club and announced in July of the same year that he was leaving the club a year early.
Two months later, Cooper, who was working for the FA as an inspector, received an invitation from Forest to take over from the sacked Xiaodong as a fire-fighting manager. After an exceptionally poor start to the season, with six defeats in seven matches, the worst record since 1913, Cooper spent the first week in charge of the team briefing the players on his philosophy of governance and what he wanted for the team, hoping that it would be a team that would not be divided into two groups. At the time, the team's morale was low, and even when the team scored a goal, they didn't celebrate it. Cooper knew that in order to restore the confidence of the players, he needed to use the right words to instill a belief in the team and an attitude to win. He started with daily behaviors such as encouraging the players not to call him 'gaffer' or 'boss' but 'Coops' to bring them closer to each other and to build a professional but friendly team. He also emphasizes on the communication between players and coaches. He also emphasized on communication between players and coaches, and team meetings, and he had the idea of converting the meeting room at the club's training base into a bigger council chamber. In addition, he has also met with the club's greats such as Garry Birtles and John McGovern, who were disciples of the great Galloway, to learn more about the club's history and culture.
In terms of transfer operations, Cooper's arrival at the club has been a renaissance, with the management bringing in a new CEO and a new transfer operations team to replace the old blood at the club. Under the management of CEO Dane Murphy and Taymour Roushdi, the club established a system of data analysis, and according to the evaluation of Cooper in the first transfer window of Forest, several players were signed, including Sam Surridge, a striker from Stoke City, and Steve Cook, an experienced player signed for free from Ponemouth. As a new signing, Cook quickly adapted to the team and got along well with his teammates and coaches, which helped him to integrate into the team. Under Cooper, Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson also worked well together on the right side of the pitch, and the team's record began to rise steadily, from the bottom half of the table all the way to challenging for a play-off berth. The team's spirit has improved dramatically, and there were many last-gasp killings, including the FA Cup third round's blowout win over Arsenal, and the next round's win over another team with a full complement of players.
