Bob Bradley: Jurgen Klinsmann was 'jockeying' for my U.S. job in 2010

New Swansea City manager Bob Bradley says Jurgen Klinsmann was "jockeying" for his job as United States coach during the 2010 World Cup and called his firing from the national team a "mistake."

Klinsmann, who succeeded Bradley as U.S. boss in 2011, said this week it was "fantastic" that Bradley landed the job in the Premier League -- the first American ever to do so.

At his first Swansea news conference on Friday, Bradley acknowledged Klinsmann's remarks, but revealed that he did not appreciate hearing Klinsmann's opinions on U.S. Soccer as a pundit for ESPN in South Africa six years ago.
