Princeton Alum Named U.S. Head Coach

In an announcement by the United States Soccer Federation, Bob Bradley, Princeton ’80, was named the interim head coach for the U.S. Men’s National Team with an opportunity to take over the position permanently. He was also named the head coach for the U-23 Men's National Team. Bradley succeeds Bruce Arena, Cornell ’73, who led the team to two World Cups.
Bradley said, "I'm really excited and honored to have the chance to lead the U.S. National Team at this time. It means an extra amount to me to follow Bruce, who most of you know is my friend. I've had a chance to work with him and after his successful eight years, I'm especially honored to follow him."
The 48-year-old Bradley, an Ivy League graduate and athlete, former U.S. National Team assistant, MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup champion, is also the winningest coach in the history of Major League Soccer.
Bradley played soccer for Princeton University and led the Tigers in scoring his senior year while completing his B.A. in History. He assumed his first head coaching job at age 22, leading the Ohio University men's soccer program (1981) while finishing his M.A. in Sports Administration at the school.
In 1984 Bradley returned to Princeton, where in 12 seasons (1984-1995) he led his alma mater to two Ivy League titles (1988, 1993) and Princeton's only NCAA Final Four berth to date (1993).
Bradley’s brother, Scott Bradley, is currently the head coach for Princeton’s baseball team.
