On Wednesday, Bob Bradley was named both the ninth non-interim Head Coach and fifth General Manager in Toronto FC history. For the most part, early reviews have been incredibly positive.
Bradley comes in with a wealth of managerial experience including stints with the US and Egyptian Men’s National teams. Perhaps more importantly, is his MLS experience which includes an MLS Cup, two US Open Cups, a Supporters’ Shield, a three-time MLS coach of the year recipient, and a Concacaf Champions League runners-up medal (see, he fits right in). The surname “Bradley” alone is enough to attract at least some kind of goodwill among TFC faithful.
