The U.S. men’s national soccer team hasn’t been doing nearly as well as the women’s soccer team, and footy fans are looking for a change.
Those changes are going to start at the top, as Sunil Gulati, the U.S. Soccer president, fired Bob Bradley, the head coach of the men’s national team, according to Sports Illustrated.
“During his time as the head coach of our men’s national team he led the team to a number of accomplishments, but we felt now was the right time for us to make a change,” Gulati said in a press release.
Bradley led the men’s team to a 2007 Gold Cup victory and a second-place finish in the 2009 Confederations Cup, but the men’s team was unable to advance past the Round of 16 in the 2010 World Cup. Over a five-year reign as head coach, Bradley amassed a 43-25-12 record.
