Bradley fired, Klinsmann named as replacement
Breaking news...
Bradley's Tenure as Head Coach of U.S. Men's National Team Ends
Quote:
CHICAGO (July 28, 2011) — U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati announced today that Bob Bradley has been relieved of his duties as the head coach of the U.S. Men’s National Team.
“We want to thank Bob Bradley for his service and dedication to U.S. Soccer during the past five years,” said 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. It is always hard to make these decisions, especially when it involves someone we respect as much as Bob. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

It is always hard to make these decisions, especially when it involves someone we respect as much as Bob. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
This announcement comes after a meeting at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., between Gulati, Bradley and U.S. Soccer CEO Dan Flynn.
Bradley was named the head coach of the U.S. MNT in January of 2007 and during his five-year tenure compiled a 43-25-12 record. He led the team to a number of accomplishments, including winning the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, finishing second in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, winning their World Cup qualifying group and advancing to the Round of 16 of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
U.S. Soccer will have a further announcement on Friday.

It's about time. Too many underwhelming performances since the Algeria match.

I don't know.
But anyway, I wonder if Klinsmann has gotten the managerial itch back, and will Bradley end up at an English club?

was the gold cup performance that bad?
would it have saved his job if they wouldn't have given up the 2 goal lead?
didn't expect to see this, thought his job was relatively secure... jurgen up next?

Probably - he made it a habit of saving his ass with an important win whenever it seemed like he was on the brink.

Bob Bradley sacked
http://www.ussoccer.com/News/Mens-Na...nure-Ends.aspx
sorta torn on this. We've really preformed according to the talent on our team lately, but at the same time if they think they can bring someone better in I'm all for it.
