USA coach Bob Bradley has agreed to stay on as national team coach for another four years, which includes the 2014 World Cup, U.S. Soccer said this week. The 52-year-old, who steered the U.S. to the last sixteen at this year’s World Cup finals in South Africa where they were eliminated by Ghana, will retain the job until the end of 2014 after agreeing to a four-year contract extension. This announcement puts an end to the widespread rumours linking Bradley with the vacant position at Aston Villa.
Bradley said he would love the challenge of coaching in Europe but also said leading the U.S towards the 2014 World Cup would be a challenge. He released these comments prior to Brazil’s 2-0 win over the U.S in a friendly earlier this month. Bradley has a decent record as USA coach and over the last four years, the U.S. have won 38 games and lost 20 out of a total of 66, whose current contract was to expire at the end of December.
