Bradley to stay as US coach until 2014

United States coach Bob Bradley has signed an extension to his contract with the US Soccer Federation which would appear to end any prospect of him succeeding Martin O'Neill as manager of Aston Villa.

The 52-year-old has agreed a new deal which runs until the end of 2014 after reports circulated that Villa's American owner Randy Lerner could be prepared to offer him the chance to manage in the Barclays Premier League. A statement on ussoccer.com read: "US Soccer has agreed to a contract extension with US men's national team head coach Bob Bradley. The agreement will keep him at the helm through the end of 2014."
