Mark Cooper plays down Sheffield Wednesday link

Swindon Town boss Mark Cooper cools speculation linking him with the assistant manager role at Sheffield Wednesday.

Swindon Town boss Mark Cooper has played down speculation linking him with Sheffield Wednesday.

Reports have suggested that the 48-year-old could become new manager Carlos Carvalhal's assistant at Hillsborough.

Cooper has one year left on his current deal with Swindon.

"Speculation was rife and I was linked to the job. I don't know if there was an approach. It's up to the chairman to comment on," he told BBC Sport.

"Nothing should surprise you in football. I've got a job to do, another season to go and I'm really looking forward to it. I think when jobs come up there is speculation, isn't there? When you've had a reasonable season you are going to be linked to jobs."

Swindon get their League One campaign underway at home to Bradford City on August 8.
