LONDON (AP) — Bob Bradley became the first American manager in the Premier League after being hired by Swansea on Monday, finally landing the opportunity in a major European competition he had been chasing.
Swansea announced the hiring of the former U.S. national team coach while saying it had fired Francesco Guidolin. The Italian coach has only been at the south Wales club since January but has lost his job after the team opened the season by winning only one of its seven league matches.
Swansea swiftly secured the release of Bradley from French second-tier club Le Havre, which he has been coaching since leaving Norwegian side Stabaek last year.
