According to Steven Goff of the Washington Post and the most recent U.S. Soccer Federation tax statement made available for public review, national team coach Bob Bradley earned $499,025 between April 1, 2008, and March 31, 2009. He also received $23,898 from the USSF and other organizations (not specified) for a total of $522,923.
The previous year, Bradley earned $452,500 plus $24,070 ($476,570). Bradley's four-year contract expires in December 2010.
In stark contrast, England Manager Fabio Capello, Bradley's foe in the World Cup opener June 12 in South Africa, has a base salary valued at $7.6 million.
Peter Nowak, Bradley's top assistant who since left the USSF to guide the MLS expansion Philadelphia Union, was paid $230,025 between April 2008 and March 2009 (which included the Beijing Olympics), plus $23,676 in additional compensation ($253,701 total).
Pia Sundhage, coach of the women's national team, received $257,000 in salary and $11,892 extra ($268,892). Thomas Rongen, who oversees the men's under-20 program, earned $150,133 overall.
The highest-paid USSF official is chief executive Dan Flynn at $646,066. President Sunil Gulati, whose full-time job is teaching at Columbia University, is not compensated by the USSF.
As a tax-exempt, non-profit organization, the USSF is required to release its financial statement annually. Bradley's bonuses earned for qualifying for the World Cup last fall were negotiated privately and won't be known until the next tax year.
