He spoke of it in an interview, and I can't remember exactly which one atm. The blurb from his book Democracy at Work echoes this belief (the subtitle is literally "A Cure for Capitalism")
Where does he say capitalism will be overthrown by co-ops? I'm not seeing it.
I'll try to locate his video, but I can confirm. He didn't exactly talk about co-ops overthrowing capitalism, he talked about using co-ops to build dual power, and with dual power overthrow capitalism. So, basically, he borrowed Lenin's concept of dual power (which in Russia was comprised of the Soviets) and added worker co-ops in the middle. So what he actually said was that worker co-ops could be a building block of dual power.
