"Michael Bradley (Wikimedia Commons) American soccer legend Michael Bradley has been named the new head coach of Red Bull New York, a long-awaited move that was made official on Monday. The 38-year-old, who began his professional career with the New York MLS franchise, reunited with the organization in 2025 to take over as head coach of Red Bull's second team, leading it to an MLS NEXT Pro championship."
"He is expected to institute a more aggressive brand of offensive soccer with Red Bull, likely in the form of a 4-3-3 lineup. While head of sport Julian de Guzman has begun tweaking the roster, specifically with the trades of Peter Stroud and Scottish international Lewis Morgan, significant attacking signings are expected to be made in the coming days. New York is coming off a 10th-place finish in the Eastern Conference, resulting in its first postseason-less campaign in 16 years."
"The hiring of Bradley provides de Guzman with a high-profile, well-respected name to build a new program with. The former American midfielder is one of the most decorated talents in the country's soccer history. A former captain, his 151 caps with the Stars and Stripes rank third in team history, which included appearances at the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups."
Michael Bradley has been appointed head coach of Red Bull New York at age 38. He previously led the club's second team to an MLS NEXT Pro championship after rejoining the organization in 2025. Bradley served as an assistant at Stabæk Fotball and as a guest assistant with the Canadian national team before working in New York's academy. The club expects a more aggressive offensive approach, likely a 4-3-3, and has already begun roster tweaks with trades and anticipated attacking signings. New York missed the postseason for the first time in 16 years, and Bradley brings extensive international experience as a former U.S. captain with 151 caps.
