New York Red Bulls Hire Ex-USMNT Captain Michael Bradley as Head Coach

Michael Bradley takes over as Red Bulls head coach after leading Red Bulls II to a championship, tasked with refreshing a team that missed MLS playoffs for the first time in 16 years.

  • On Monday, Michael Bradley was named head coach of the New York Red Bulls after being promoted from Red Bulls II, which he led to the MLS NEXT Pro title.
  • Following a season that ended without postseason play, New York finished 10th in the Eastern Conference, leading to Sandro Schwarz's Oct. 27 dismissal.
  • A former U.S. captain, Bradley earned 151 caps including World Cups, played 20 years for clubs like Heerenveen and Roma, and coached under Bob Bradley and with Canada before joining New York's academy.
  • Bradley will manage a squad refresh that includes searching for a new goalkeeper after Carlos Coronel's departure while Emil Forsberg and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting remain core pieces and the club could fill a third DP spot in the winter transfer window.
  • The hire gives Julian de Guzman a respected name to build a new program, and Bradley's appointment is notable as he becomes the 21st coach in 31 seasons, following his father Bob Bradley.
