Mark Cooper to be reinstated as bookies' favourite for Notts County job

Former Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper is reportedly set to become the favourite to replace Jamie Fullarton as Notts County manager.

The 47-year-old is said to have narrowly missed out on the job in January when the board opted to hire Fullarton, who in turn was sacked after the 4-1 home defeat to Exeter City on Saturday.

Cooper, who guided the Robins to the League One play-off final last season, has also been linked with a job at Stevenage but is understood to be keeping his options open as to his next destination.

He has also managed Peterborough United and Kettering Town, where he made his name by leading them to the Conference North title and to the fourth round of the FA Cup in 2009.
