Gregg Berhalter has been let go as the head coach of the United States men’s national team following their disappointing performance at the Copa América tournament. Berhalter took on the role in 2018, leading the team to the World Cup and securing a spot in the round of 16. Despite winning the Concacaf Nations League title earlier this year, the team faced challenges under Berhalter’s leadership.
The USMNT struggled in several matches, including a loss to Panama in the Copa América where they were plagued by red cards. They were also defeated by Germany and suffered a significant loss to Colombia in a pre-Copa exhibition. Their hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals were dashed after a loss to Uruguay, marking the first time since 2007 that the team failed to move past the group stage in a major tournament.
Berhalter’s tenure with the team concludes with 44 wins, 15 losses, and 13 ties, boasting the highest winning percentage of any permanent USMNT coach. While his successor has not been announced, U.S. Soccer is expected to name a new coach before the team’s upcoming friendly match against Canada.
As speculation swirls about who will take over as the new head coach, fans and analysts are eagerly anticipating the next chapter for the USMNT. With the team looking to bounce back from their recent setbacks, the appointment of a new coach will be crucial in guiding the team towards future success. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as U.S. Soccer prepares for the next phase of the national team’s journey.
