Michael Bradley was appointed the new Head Coach of the New York Red Bulls on Dec. 15, 2025.
Bradley, of Princeton, grew up in the Red Bulls organization, which drafted him at 16 years old. Bradley said coming home to New Jersey to take the job with the Red Bulls was “a no brainer,” according to northjersey.com.
