Former United States soccer coach Bob Bradley signed a contract to take over the Egypt national team, charged with reviving the fortunes of a team that recently failed to qualify for the African Cup of Nations.
The 53-year-old Bradley agreed a deal worth $37,000 a month until after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
“I’m proud to take over as coach of Egypt,” Bradley said. “I’m looking forward to dealing with the players.”
Bradley was fired as U.S. coach in July after more than four years in charge and replaced by Jurgen Klinsmann.
