Jurgen Klinsmann hits back at new Swansea boss Bob Bradley by insisting he was not 'jockeying' for his USA job

Jurgen Klinsmann has rejected Bob Bradley's claims that the former German star angled to succeed him as USA coach in 2010.

Bradley was fired soon after a 4-2 defeat by Mexico in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup final and replaced by Klinsmann. Bradley made the claim on Friday when he was introduced as Swansea, the first American head coach in the Premier League.

'No. I mean it's simply not true,' Klinsmann said Monday ahead of his team's exhibition against New Zealand.
