"Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor, so when Red Bull New York came calling for Michael Bradley to take over as first-team head coach, it was a decision that he admitted took half a second to make, even though there were some factors that provided some moments for pause. There are a lot of things that you can control in life, Bradley said during his introductory press conference on Monday at Sports Illustrated Stadium."
"In football, one thing that you can never control is timing. You can't control when certain opportunities come, when certain people call. The 38-year-old former midfielder, one of the most decorated players in American soccer history, has never held a full-time head coaching position in a top-flight professional league. He was brought in just six months ago to take over Red Bull's second team, which he steered to an MLS NEXT Pro championship,"
Michael Bradley accepted the first-team head coach position at Red Bull New York after six months with the club. He is a 38-year-old former midfielder and one of the most decorated players in American soccer history. Bradley had not previously held a full-time head coaching role in a top-flight professional league. He led Red Bull's second team to an MLS NEXT Pro championship. The first-team vacancy followed the firing of Sandro Schwarz after the franchise's first playoff-less season in 16 years. Discussions with head of sport Julian de Guzman and input from Jurgen Klopp and Mario Gomez accelerated the promotion. Timing in football remains unpredictable.
