Image via WikipediaAccording to a report on talkSPORT, experienced coach Bob Bradley has resigned as USA coach with immediate effect. The 52-year-old is reportedly on the verge of being appointed as new Aston Villa manager.
Bradley has been in charge of USA's national since the summer of 2006 and guided The Stars and Stripes to a round of 16 place at the 2010 World Cup. USA were eventually beaten by Ghana 2-1 after extra time.
USA's good performances in South Africa didn't go unnoticed in Birmingham, and Aston Villa chairman Randy Lerner supposedly sees Bradley as the perfect man to replace Martin O'Neill, who resigned earlier this week as the club's manager.
The father of Borussia Moenchengladbach star Michael Bradley previously worked as head coach at Chicago Fire, Metrostars and Chivas USA before taking over as USA's national team coach.
He won't be in charge when Aston Villa take on West Ham United on Saturday, but Bradley senior is expected to be unveiled as the new man at the helm at Villa Park sometime next week.
