Egypt name American Bradley as coach

Egypt have appointed former United States coach Bob Bradley as national team manager, state news agency MENA said on Wednesday.

Bradley replaces long-standing coach Hassan Shehata who left in June after holders Egypt struggled in qualifying for the 2012 African Nations Cup finals. They have since been eliminated.

Bradley, fired by the U.S. in July, was on an Egyptian FA shortlist that included the experienced Francisco Maturana, who has managed Peru, Ecuador and his native Colombia, and Zoran Filipovic, the former Yugoslav striker and Montenegro coach.

Of course.

But you know by now how bitter the reactions can be around here regarding any sign of progress or success for anything connected to U.S. Soccer.

who cares

[Reggaedoc]

I have to agree with you Hortical. I think the guy is an excellent coach. We have never had a coach of that calibre. To this day.

[Gamma]

[Reggaedoc]

Incidentally, I think he is a better coach than Prof. Simoes.

[Gamma]
