Derby County midfielder Conor Hourihane admits to looking up to Steve Cooper as he discusses a potential coaching career.
The pair spent a few months together at Swansea, when Cooper signed the former Aston Villa man in his final season in charge. Hourihane played an important role for the Welsh boss in their bid to return to the Premier League, but they eventually fell just short.
Hourihane, who is keen to get into coaching, has already started his coaching badges. The 31-year-old revealed he took a lot from his previous coaches, but it was Nottingham Forest boss Cooper who received the most praise.
