Brad Friedel

Where is Brad Friedel now?

Legendary Premier League goalkeeper Brad Friedel finally called time on his long career in 2015 after a four-year spell playing for Tottenham Hotspur.

Starting his professional career in 1995 with Danish side Brondby after failing to secure deals with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United because of work permit issues, he went onto make 679 appearances over a 19-year period for four different teams.

During his time in the English Premier League, Friedel made a record 310 consecutive first team appearances and was also the oldest player to represent both Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur.

He also represented the United States on the international stage for 13 years between 1992 and 2005 and was a member of the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cup squads.

Upon retiring, Friedel started working towards obtaining his coaching badges as well as working in the media as a match day analyst and occasional co-commentator for US broadcasting giant FOX Sports.

He also represented former club Tottenham Hotspur as the club’s ambassador within the United States.

After spending 18 months as head coach of the United States under-19’s side, Friedel was appointed head coach of MLS side New England Revolution in November 2017 but was unfortunately sacked in May 2019 after a poor start to the season.

He is currently heading up the North American expansion of the Promoesport player agency that represents dozens of players across Europe’s top leagues.
