Swindon Town: Mark Cooper leaves League One club

Mark Cooper had overseen just three league wins at Swindon this season

Swindon Town have parted company with manager Mark Cooper.

The League One side's chairman Lee Power will take over on a temporary basis, reports BBC Wiltshire.

Swindon confirmed Cooper's departure after Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Millwall - their eighth successive game without victory.

The Robins are 20th in the table, above the relegation zone only on goal difference and without a win since 5 September.

Cooper had been in charge since August 2013, guiding the club to the play-offs last season where they lost 4-0 to Preston in the final.
