Neale Cooper Leaves Peterhead

Former Hartlepool United manager Neale Cooper has left his job as manager of Scottish Second Division side Peterhead.

Cooper had led the Blue Toon to the play-offs last season but a poor run of form has seen his slide slip to the bottom of the league, and now Cooper has left the club by mutual consent.

The 47-year-old famously helped Pools reach the League One play-offs twice in successive seasons in 2004 and 2005 and had been joined the Balmoor club in 2006 as assistant manager before taking over the reigns as boss in 2008.
