HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Former Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley became the New York Red Bulls' 21st coach in 31 seasons when he was promoted Monday to replace Sandro Schwarz, taking over a job his father held two decades earlier.
Bradley, a former U.S. national team captain, was hired on June 12 as coach of Red Bulls II in the third-tier MLS Next Pro and led the team to the league title.
The 38-year-old had 17 goals in 151 international appearances from 2006-19 and spent 20 years playing for the New York/New Jersey MetroStars (2004-05), Heerenveen (2006-08), Borussia Mönchengladbach (2008-11), Aston Villa (2011), Chievo Verona (2011-12), Roma (2012-14) and Toronto (2014-23).
Bradley was an assistant to his father Bob with Norway’s Stabaek in 2023-24. His father coached the U.S. from 2006-11 and Toronto from 2021-23.
New York missed Major League Soccer's playoffs, finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference with 12 wins, 15 losses and seven ties, and . The team was seventh in 2024 and advanced to the MLS final, where it lost to the LA Galaxy.
The Red Bulls began play in 1996 as the New York/New Jersey Metrostars. They have never won the MLS championship.
