Bradley Carnell was named head coach on Wednesday and he joined KMOX's Sports Director Tom Ackerman to discuss he decision to leave New York City Red Bull and why St. Louis was a such a desired job. They also talk about what style of game he expects his club to play.

"Very attacking, very transitional and positive aggressive is a term we've been dubbing around here," Carnell says. "We want to be very effective and efficient in all areas of the game."

It's something the South African-born coach and former international player expects fans to witness when his team will compete in the inaugural MLS NEXT season in March. St. Louis is one of 19 MLS teams that will field a squad in the league meant for developing talent to feed the top teams.
