Cooper set to manage Darlington

Former Tamworth manager Mark Cooper looks set to take the vacant post at Darlington. The appointment could be announced tomorrow.

Cooper will take over from Ryan Kidd who was in charge for little more than a week.

Kidd was appointed manager after Simon Davey resigned to join Hereford United.

Cooper, who is understood to have applied for the Hereford vacancy after John Trewick quit, had a short spell in charge of Peterborough last season after Darren Ferguson moved to Preston North End.
