Bradley, Nancy, Marsch and the uphill battle for MLS coaches in Europe

Celtic’s firing of the Frenchman in January brought back memories for two US coaches who faced similar struggles

Jesse Marsch will lead Canada to the World Cup this summer; Wilfried Nancy’s ill-fated term at Celtic ended after just 33 days; Bob Bradley took charge of Swansea back in 2016.

Bob Bradley has never seen Ted Lasso, the TV show set around an American college football coach who finds himself leading a soccer team in England.

“Everybody tells me that I should watch it but I have not,” Bradley said from his home in New Jersey, almost nine years on from his experience. “I lived that a little bit, so I’m not ready to watch it yet.”
