Bradley originally joined Stabaek in 2014 after being sacked as coach by Egypt.

He spent two seasons as a coach, helping Stabaek qualify for the Europa League before leaving in November 2015 to take charge of French club Le Havre.

Stabaek, based in the Oslo suburb of Baerum, is currently 4-11-4 in 15th place in the 16-team Norwegian top league. The club parted ways with coach Lars Bohinen last week.

Bradley was fired as head coach and athletic director from TFC on June 26 while the team was 14th in the MLS Eastern Conference, 3-7-10. It had won just two of its last 17 games in all competitions (2-7-8).

Bradley, a three-time MLS Coach of the Year whose son is TFC captain Michael Bradley, took over at Toronto in November 2021. His record for the club is 14-26-19.

Toronto named Terry Dunfield as interim coach before naming Canadian coach John Herdman as Bradley’s permanent replacement.

Herdman will take over Toronto (4-13-10) on October 1st.
