Following the firing of Chris Armas, the New York Red Bulls have appointed Bradley Carnell to the position of interim manager. The 43-year-old former South African international fullback joined the club as an assistant coach in March of 2017 and has a long and unique history in the game, at both the player and managerial level.
Carnell began in high level soccer with local club Wits University, debuting as one of the youngest ever players in the South African top flight at the age of 16. As a teenager, he led his team to the 1995 BP Top 8 Cup, scoring two goals in the final.
