BBC Sport reported on Sunday that former Luton manager Edwards was among the leading contenders to replace Vitor Pereira, who was sacked following a winless start to the Premier League season. Wolves held talks with former boss Gary O'Neil but the 42-year-old withdrew from the running on Monday. Ex-Wolves player Edwards, also 42, has always been a strong candidate at Molineux and is now emerging as the club's preferred choice.
Brondby director of football Benjamin Schmedes said Cooper has a "rare combination of youth and experience, vision and personality" and can "lift both the individual player and the entire club to a new level". "We want to accelerate our development so that we can achieve the ambitious sporting goals we have and, not least, install a winning culture within the walls of Brondby Stadium," Schmedes told the club's website.
