Bob Bradley dismissed as coach of the USA

Bob Bradley has been sacked as the coach of the USA national team after five years.

“We want to thank Bob Bradley for his service and dedication to U.S. Soccer during the past five years,” said US soccer president Sunil Gulati.

“During his time as the head coach of our Men’s National Team he led the team to a number of accomplishments, but we felt now was the right time for us to make a change."

"We wish him the best in his future endeavors,” he added.

Bradley guided the USA to a 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup triumph as well as drawing 1-1 with England on their way to reaching the last 16 at the 2010 World Cup.
