The former United States coach took charge of French side Le Havre for the last time on Monday and will now take up his role as Francesco Guidolins City successor.Bradley is the first American to manage a Premier League team and the opportunity to blaze a trail for his compatriots influenced his decision to walk out on Le Havre so early in the Ligue 2 season. In this moment, the opportunity to go to the Premier League on many levels is special, he said after signing off with a 2-1 win over Sochaux. Who is Bob Bradley? We profile Swanseas new boss I am sorry to leave, especially at this moment, but its still an opportunity for me, for my family and for American football.

But football does not control timing.Le Havre missed out on promotion last season by a single goal, and Bradley said: Ive loved the time Ive had with this club.

Ryne Sandberg Cubs Jersey .com) - Sporting Kansas City announced Thursday that club has signed former on-loan midfielder Jimmy Medranda to a permanent contract from Colombian side Deportivo Pereira. Jon Lester Cubs Jersey . The D-Backs came into being in 1998 and appear destined to finish second in the AL West after the Tsunami that is the Los Angeles Dodgers swept over them. I thought it might be interesting to see what the D-backs have done over their 16 years compared to what the Blue Jays have done over their past 16 campaigns. http://www.thecubsteamshop.com/Cubs-Brad-Brach-Kids-Jersey/ . -- The Toronto Maple Leafs are tightening the race for second place in the Atlantic Division.ASPEN, Colo. - Eva-Maria Brem buried her face in the snow soon after crossing the finish line, the emotions from the last year all hitting her at once.Being left off the Austrian team for the Sochi Games. Almost quitting the sport she took up as a toddler on pink skis with snowmen decals. Deciding she still loved skiing and couldnt walk away because there was still too much out there to accomplish.The 26-year-old Brem raced to her first World Cup victory Saturday, holding off teammate Kathrin Zettel with a smooth final run in the giant slalom.Brem had a big lead following a nearly flawless first run and tactically charged the tricky course to finish in 2 minutes, 5.97 seconds. Zettel was second, 0.59 seconds behind, for her ninth podium finish in Aspen. Federica Brignone of Italy was third.Canadian Marie-Michele Gagnon, of Lac-Etchemin, Que., placed 24th with a time of 2:09.45.When Brem finished and saw her name on top of the scoreboard the tears began to flow. When she lifted her head up from the snow — some still sticking to her nose and goggles — Zettel greeted her with a hug.I know she had a really hard time and has worked so long for this victory, said Zettel, whos quickly rounding back into top form after off-season hip surgery. Shes skiing so well.American Mikaela Shiffrin held the lead for a little while after a fast final run before winding up sixth. The teenager has been dealing with a stomach virus most of the week.Shiffrin and Anna Fenninger of Austria tied in the season-opening GS race last month in Soelden, Austria, and Brem was third.Brem also finished second in Switzerland and third in Sweden last March.This recent surge was ignited, at least in part, by not making the Sochi squad. Soon after, Brem did some soul-searching and made some changes.I do it my way, Brem said.Brems way is attacking a course with almost a carefree attitude, not stressing over everything. It worked as she earned her first career podium finish in Sweden on March 6.A magic moment for me, she said. I realized that maybe I can really do this.Nina Loeseth of Norway was the seventh skier out of the starting gate for the final run and found the ideal line, geneerating speed on the bottom of the course where others couldnt. Albert Almora Jr Cubs Jersey. Loeseth was on top until Shiffrin came along as the 19-year-old gave a fist pump to the partisan crowd after taking the lead.It wouldnt hold. Especially not after her first run, when she hit her hip on the snow. She recovered, but was 2.23 seconds behind.I felt like I did a good job of attacking in the second run and keeping it clean, Shiffrin said. Thats a step in the right direction.Zettel had a so-so opening run, too, but was speedy on her final pass to jump on top. Not surprising, since shes made herself right at home on this hill. So much so that someone joked that Aspen should be called Zettels Course.Brignone — the second-to-last skier — couldnt catch Zettels time. Brem wasnt nervous in the starting gate, just determined.She wasnt about to play it safe.I tried to push the second run, because I thought if I dont win this now, I will never get over it, Brem said.There were quite a few big names skidding out in the morning session, including Tessa Worley of France and Julia Mancuso of Squaw Valley, California.Now, Mancusos off to Lake Louise, Alberta, for the speed events next weekend. Thats also where Lindsey Vonn is scheduled to make her season debut in her return from a second knee surgery.The last racer of the morning session may have received one of the loudest cheers. Then again, Sarah Schleper, of Vail, Colorado, has always been a fan favourite.Schleper certainly stood out, too, maybe not so much for her time — she was 9.13 seconds out of first — but definitely for her bright pink racing suit.The four-time Olympian has a new passport this season after retiring from the U.S. team. Schleper now competes for Mexico, where her husband is from. Shes trying to stay in the game long enough to compete in her hometown of Vail at the world championships in February.Its hard to compete all the time against skiers who are really taking it super professional and serious, said Schleper, who balances raising two kids with working a couple of jobs and trying to squeeze in some training of her own. But its so fun to get into the start and get that adrenaline. ' ' '
