Former United States and Egypt coach Bob Bradley has been appointed as manager of Ligue 2 side Le Havre.
The 57-year-old will leave Norwegian outfit Stabaek - who he led into the Europa League qualifying rounds - having spent almost two years at the club after penning a two-year deal at Stade Oceane.
Bradley won the MLS Cup during his time at Chicago Fire before taking the United States to the 2010 World Cup as well as winning the Gold Cup in 2007 and finishing runners-up to Brazil in the 2009 Confederations Cup.
He replaces Thierry Goudet as manager of Le Havre and is looking forward to the challenge of trying to return the club to the top-flight.
"Becoming head coach of the HAC is a new challenge in my career," he said.
"The owners have demonstrated a real motivation, which I share, to build performance over the long term.
"I feel there is a real opportunity to experience beautiful sporting and human emotions. I will put all my experience and my expertise into helping the club regain their place in the elite of French football and lay the foundations for an ambitious and solid project."
Bradley had emerged as a surprise candidate for the vacant manager's job at Sunderland, following the departure of Dick Advocaat in October, but Sam Allardyce took the position at the Stadium of Light.
