CanMNT Talk: Marsch-Bradley connection runs very deep
In the latest video blog, we discuss ex-TFC captain Michael Bradley serving as a guest coach with the Canadian men's team.
Former Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley is back in the news.
It was revealed this week that Bradley and former Canadian international defender David Edgar have joined Canada's men's team as guest coaches under Jesse Marsch during the current FIFA international window.
The Canadian team is currently in Halifax training for the four-team Canadian Shield Tournament that begins on Saturday in Toronto with Canada taking on Ukraine and New Zealand facing Ivory Coast. Bradley will only be with Canada for the Halifax camp.
The fact that the former TFC legend is part of the Canadian camp during this window shouldn't come as too much as a surprise, given how much Marsch valued his time playing under Bob Bradley and serving under him as an assistant coach with the U.S. national teams (a side that featured Michael Bradley) at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
"[Bob Bradley] is the reason I'm a coach, and the experiences that I had with him and the inspiration that he gave me to think about this sport as a life," Marsch told TFC Republic last year after he was hired as coach of the Canadian men's team.
In the latest TFC Republic video blog, we discuss the deep connections between Marsch and the Bradley family, and what Michael's involvement with the Canadian men's team could mean for his future.
