Steve Cooper is set to leave his role as Swansea head coach, with a mutual termination of his contract nearing an agreement. Cooper, 41, was appointed Swansea boss in the summer of 2019, and guided the Welsh side to the Championship play-offs in both of his seasons in charge. The club are expected to confirm Cooper's departure by the end of the week, with their opening game of the Championship season - at Blackburn Rovers on August 7 - just 17 days away.
