Bob Bradley has moved on to his next big challenge. 

The former U.S. national team boss was named manager of French second division side Le Havre on Tuesday, ending a successful two-year run at Stabaek in Norway. 

"Becoming head coach of Le Havre, France's oldest football club, is a new challenge in my career," Bradley said in a club release. 

"This is an ambitious project with objectives outlined by the club's leadership very much in line with my personal career aspirations. I am confident that together we can build upon this fine franchise and create a long-term, strong Ligue 1 team."

After leaving the U.S. national team in 2011, Bradley managed Egypt to the brink of a World Cup place before moving onto Norway. In the recently completed season, Bradley led small-budget Stabaek to third place in the Tippaeligan – good for a spot in next season's Europa League. 

Le Havre is currently in fourth place in Ligue 2 after 14 matches. Bradley's first match in charge will be Saturday at Saint-Omer in the Coupe de France.
