U.S. Soccer is investigating Gregg Berhalter, who says he was a blackmail target

LA Times  

U.S. Soccer said Tuesday it launched an investigation into a potential blackmail plot involving men’s national team coach Gregg Berhalter during the recent World Cup in Qatar. In a lengthy social media post from an account U.S. Soccer said belonged to Berhalter, the coach said the federation was contacted by an unnamed individual during the tournament who said “they had information about me that would ‘take me down’ — an apparent effort to leverage something very personal from long ago to bring about the end of my relationship with U.S. Soccer.” In the post, Berhalter, whose contract with U.S. Soccer ended Saturday, admitted to a physical altercation with his wife, Rosalind, outside a bar when both were 18. In a separate statement, U.S. Soccer said it learned of the allegation against Berhalter on Dec. 11 and hired the Atlanta-based law firm of Alston & Bird LLP to conduct an independent investigation in that matter as well as “potential inappropriate behavior towards multiple members of our staff by individuals outside of our organization.” “We take such behavior seriously,” the statement continued, “and have expanded our investigation to include those allegations.” U.S. Soccer thanked the Berhalters for speaking openly about the incident and said it “condemns violence of any kind and takes such allegations very seriously.” Berhalter, 49, a two-time World Cup selection as a player, was named coach of the national team in December 2018. U.S. Soccer said last month it was undertaking a full technical review of the men’s national team program and said Tuesday it expects to name a coach to lead the January training camp “in the coming days.”
