Robert "Bob" Bradley (born March 3, 1958) is an American soccer coach who last managed the Welsh club Swansea City in the Premier League.
A native of New Jersey and graduate of Princeton University, Bradley came to prominence managing the United States and Egypt men's national teams. Before taking over the U.S. national team in 2006, he coached in the American college game and Major League Soccer, managing the Chicago Fire, MetroStars, and Chivas USA over nine seasons. He then became the first American to manage a team in a European first division with Stabæk of Norway. He then moved on to French club Le Havre and Swansea City, becoming the first American to manage a Premier League club. He was sacked less than three months later after a poor run of form.
Bradley was born and raised in New Jersey, playing soccer at West Essex High School and Princeton University. Following his graduation from Princeton, Bradley briefly worked in the Procter & Gamble executive training program before entering the Ohio University sports management graduate school in 1981. While there, Bradley's managing career began when he was named head coach of the Ohio University Bobcats's NCAA Division I soccer program at the age of 22. After two seasons with Ohio, Bradley worked as an assistant coach and scout for University of Virginia manager Bruce Arena for two years before taking the top job at his alma mater, Princeton. Bradley led the Tigers from 1984 to 1995, winning two Ivy League titles and reaching the NCAA Final Four in 1993.
