In landing the Swansea City job, former U.S. manager Bob Bradley has already won

Bradley was named Monday as the new head coach of Swansea City of the English Premier League, achieving his long-sought goal of becoming the first American to manage in any of the current top five European leagues.

Bob Bradley finally won.

So much about his boundary-testing coaching career has been defined by almosts and not-quites. The veteran coach has caught glimpses of many a mountain top through the years but rarely summited them.

His U.S. men’s national team stunned top-ranked Spain in the semifinals of the 2009 Confederations Cup but lost to Brazil in the final.
