SWANSEA, Wales (AP) " Being a pioneer doesn't sit comfortably with Bob Bradley. "The American stuff I can cover in 30 seconds," Bradley said Friday at his Swansea presentation as the first American to manage a Premier League club. "With football in the United States we have always understood we have to earn respect," said Bradley, who left French second-tier club Le Havre on Monday. At his first Swansea news conference, Bradley complained that Jurgen Klinsmann "was already jockeying for the job" while broadcasting at the 2010 World Cup. Bradley took a bold step by moving to the Middle East to coach Egypt through the Arab Spring uprising.
