Former USA coach Bob Bradley was sounded out for the manager's job at West Bromwich Albion and Norwich, according to reports. Bradley, who is currently head coach of the Egypt national team, 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 54 year old, 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.
