Bob Bradley To Stay on As Coach of United States Through 2014 World Cup

After several weeks of speculation, news has finally broke that United States Coach Bob Bradley will stay on as the head coach of the United States through the 2014 World Cup.

Since the end of the 2010 World Cup, Bradley's job status has been in the air as US Soccer President Suni Gulati started to distance the 52-year-old from the job.

In an interview just after the United States got eliminated, Gulati stated, "I have some questions and why we did some things collectively" and "I think the team is capable of more. I think the players know it."

In the last several weeks, Bradley managed what some felt was going to be his final match against Brazil at the New Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey, a match that ended in a 2-0 win for Brazil.

Since that match, Bradley found himself linked to the Aston Villa job in the English Premier League after Martin O'Neill decided to suddenly resign.

And Bradley was not afraid to admit that he was interested in the opportunity, as he told BBC 5 Live's Sportsweek program, "I think Aston Villa is a massive club with great history and a great following and those type of opportunities would of course be of interest."

In the last week, it appeared that Bradley was all but out as the coach of the United States national team, as Suni Gulati met with former Germany and Bayern Munich manager Jurgen Klinsmann to talk about the possibility of taking over the US job.

But just like in 2006, Klinsmann found himself without the job as Gulati has decided to stick with Bradley for another four years.

During his four-year tenure with the USA, Bradley has amazed with a 38-20-8 record, which includes a CONCACAF Gold Cup and a win over Spain in the 2009 Confederations Cup semifinal.
