Egypt fought to keep hold of coach

Sky Sports understands former USA coach Bob Bradley was in the frame for the manager's job at West Brom and Norwich. Bradley, who is currently head coach of the Egypt national team, is thought to have been sounded about a move to both clubs prior to the recent appointments of Steve Clarke and Chris Hughton. The 54-year-old was on the radar for West Brom and Norwich as they both searched for new managers following the exits of Roy Hodgson and Paul Lambert earlier this summer. However, Egypt were reluctant to lose Bradley with the country well-placed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup. The American has also only lost one of his 14 games in charge and that was a friendly against Brazil. Bradley, who is highly regarded in coaching circles after his success with the USA and now with Egypt, is thought to be keen to try his luck in club management in Europe at some point in the future. Bradley guided the US to the 2010 World Cup and helped them finish top of their group above England before losing in the knockout stages to Ghana.
