Former USMNT head coach Bob Bradley parts ways with Stabaek

Former U.S. men’s national team head coach Bob Bradley is on the move again.

Bradley parted ways as Norwegian second division side Stabaek’s head coach, the club announced. The news comes after Stabaek suffered its third-straight defeat, falling to seventh in the league standings with seven matches left to play.

Bjørn Helge Riise will take over as temporary head coach for the rest of the season, the club announced.

“Bob will forever be a special part of the club’s history, a wise football head with enormous work capacity and great commitment,” said Stabaek chairman Espen Moe. “After a longer period of limited development and varying results, we have, in consultation with Bob, agreed to end the collaboration. At the same time, we are very grateful for the work and effort Bob has put into the club and we wish him the best of luck in the future.”

This was Bradley’s second stint with Stabaek, having previously managed the club from 2014-15. During that time, Bradley became the first American to manage a team in the top flight of a European league, leading Stabaek to the Europa League.

Bradley was the USMNT head coach from 2006-11 and also served as manager of European clubs Swansea City and Le Havre, as well as MLS clubs LAFC and Toronto FC.

During his lengthy managerial career, Bradley has won six trophies at the club and international level, including one MLS Cup, one Supporters’ Shield, and one Canadian Championship.
