Report: Gregg Berhalter out as USMNT head coach following Copa America exit

11 months into his second spell as U.S. men’s national team head coach, Gregg Berhalter is reportedly out from his position.

Berhalter will not continue as USMNT head coach, Fox Soccer reported Wednesday. The news comes just over one week after the USMNT suffered group stage elimination from the 2024 Copa America.

Berhalter, 50, was rehired by U.S. Soccer in June 2023 after the federation conducted a full investigation on him following a past domestic violence incident involving him and his wife, Rosalind.

A former USMNT player, Berhalter’s first spell as head coach began in 2018. He led the Americans back to the FIFA World Cup in 2022 before reaching the Round of 16 in that tournament.

Berhalter also led the USMNT to a pair of CONCACAF Nations League titles and one CONCACAF Gold Cup. Several dual-nationals also committed to the USMNT during Berhalter’s two spells as head coach including Yunus Musah, Sergino Dest, Folarin Balogun, and Malik Tillman.

Both Anthony Hudson and B.J. Callaghan served as interim head coaches during Berhalter’s absence in 2023.

The USMNT will host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on home soil, alongside Mexico and Canada.
