A pair of former Peterborough United managers have teamed up at a National League South club
Former Peterborough United managers Mark Cooper and John Still have teamed up at National League South club Chelmsford City.
Cooper will be first-team manager for next season, while Still has become the head of football operations.
Still was Posh manager from May 1994 to October 1995 and won 17 and lost 19 of his 57 League One matches in charge at London Road before then owner Chris Turner sacked him.
Cooper was a bizarre left-field appointment made by current Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony in November, 2009. MacAnthony had just sacked double promotion winning manager Darren Ferguson and persuaded Cooper to leave non-league Kettering Town to take over the club at the bottom of the Championship.
It didn’t work and Cooper was sacked after just 14 Championship matches with Posh winning one of them.
Cooper has managed over 1,000 times at Football League and non-league level and brought Forest Green Rovers into the EFL for the first time in 2017. He also managed Swindon Town and Notts County among other clubs.
Chelmsford are 10th in National League South with one game of this season to go.
