LOS ANGELES (CNS) — Bob Bradley, who has led Los Angeles Football Club since the Major League Soccer team's inception, is stepping down as head coach, the team announced.

His departure after four years was described as a "mutual decision" between Bradley and the team. Bradley is a three-time MLS Coach of the Year winner and the former head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team.

"Bob has been fantastic as the first and only head coach for this club," LAFC Co-President/General Manager John Thorrington said in a statement. "He provided strong leadership and has been a great ambassador for LAFC. Bob helped us develop a winning culture and established a legacy that will always be a part of LAFC's history."

During his four years as coach, Bradley led the team to a 58-34-32 record.

"It's been incredible to have played a part in the early history of LAFC," Bradley, 63, said in a statement. "From the beginning there was a real commitment to connect to the city and the fans and we shared some amazing experiences."

Bradley has a career MLS record of 182-127-86, ranking third all-time in MLS victories.
