Reports in America state Bradley is set to be named as head coach of Los Angeles FC
Former Swansea City boss Bob Bradley looks set for a return to management, with the unlikely help of Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan.
The American has been out of work since being sacked by the Swans in December, just 85 days and 11 games after succeeding Francesco Guidolin.
Bradley was the first American to manage in the Premier League and ended his stint as Swans boss with a record of two wins, two draws and seven defeats.
Reports in his homeland suggest he is about to be named as the first head coach of Los Angeles FC, an MLS expansion franchise who are set to join the competition from the start of the 2018 season.
The club are co-owned by a number of high-profile figures, as well as Bluebirds owner Tan, who also has interests in clubs in Bosnia and Belgium.
The Malaysian is joined by the likes of former NBA superstar Magic Johnson, actor Will Ferrell, entertainment guru Paul Schaeffer and best-selling author Tony Robbins.
Bradley, 59, has not managed in the MLS in over a decade, and has since managed the United States national side, Egypt, Stabaek in Norway, French second-tier side Le Havre and the Swans.

the club is co owned by a consortium of 21 people.
many who are American and actually live in L.A.
yet its a Malaysian living in Malaysia that has forced Bradley an ex USA natioal team manager on them ...
the agenda knows no bounds..logic..or sanity.

He might do alright over there. He has done in the past.
Such a massive difference between managing in these types of leagues and managing in the Premier League. We found that out with Ole.

Ned, like Ole, Bobcat Bob (as Mike Parry likes to call him) is back in his natural environment having got out of quarantine and over the cultural shock of his time in Twin Town and I'm sure he will do well!

Good luck to him. He seems like a decent bloke.
His involvement in Egyptian football after the spring revolution was fantastic.

Obviously not even the slums of Cairo could prepare him for swansea town.

Tan unearthed KZ a player worth more than any other. Worth more than any previous manager, chairman or official ever connected to our club in its entire history. But don't let that fact get in the way of an opportunity to have a dig at him.
