Yes, you read that headline correctly. Bob Bradley will be returning as the US national team head coach.
Bradley’s new contract will take him through the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. First up on his agenda is the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup. A win in that tournament qualifies the US for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. Given how the Confederations Cup prepared the US for South Africa 2010, topping Mexico in the Gold Cup needs to be priority one for Bradley.
