The American tactician flew to Cairo this week to finalize a deal to become the African nation's next man on the bench and will be introduced by the team on Saturday to replace long-serving manager Hassan Shehata. The decision was announced on the organization's official website after Bradley arrived in Cairo early Wednesday morning.



Colombian Fancisco Maturana and Serbian Zoran Filipovic were also candidates for the position.

Bradley, a New Jersey native, was replaced by Jurgen Klinsmann as the USA boss in July shortly after the squad lost to Mexico in the Gold Cup final. He finished his USA career with a record of 43 wins, 25 losses and 12 draws in over four years.

The 53-year-old led the Americans to the 2009 Confederation Cup final after defeating Egypt 3-0 in the group stage. Last year, he led the USA to the final 16 of the World Cup in South Africa.

However, Ron Waxman, Bradley's agent, later tweeted "Reports Bob Bradley signed to be Egypt's new manager are premature, and he did not say any of the quotes being attributed to him on FIFA.com," indicating a deal may not be completed just yet despite the announcement from the Egyptian FA.
