LOS ANGELES (KNX) — After four years as head coach, helping to build the Los Angeles Football Club from the ground up, Bob Bradley has stepped down from his role, the club said Thursday.
The parting is cordial the team said — and they made it all to clear with a series of tweets following the announcement.
Bradley's decision comes at the end of his contract and follows a record number of achievements with the team. He is the second-winningest active coach in major league soccer history and led the LAFC to a "58-34-32 record and 206 points" in his time as head coach, the team said in a statement.
"It’s been incredible to have played a part in the early history of LAFC,” Bradley said. “From the beginning there was a real commitment to connect to the city and the fans and we shared some amazing experiences."
Bradley, 63, is the first and so far only head coach of the club. John Thorrington, the LAFC co-president and general manager, said Bradley's leadership is what helped a winning culture and establish a legacy "that will always be part of LAFC's history.
"We are grateful to Bob for his service to LAFC and the city of Los Angeles," Thorrington said. "He helped lay a foundation for this Club that we will build on as we wish him well in his next chapter. I am confident in our Club and process that we will find the next head coach who will help lead us forward."
