Gregg Berhalter is returning as coach of the U.S. men’s national team, the team announced Friday. Gregg Berhalter has been chosen to lead the #USMNT to the 2026 FIFA World Cup » https://t.co/ObcP1tCbvH pic.twitter.com/c85nwVS9to — U.S. Men's National Soccer Team June 16, 2023 As the U.S. coach from 2019-22, Berhalter won the 2021 Nations League and Gold Cup trophies, qualified for the 2022 World Cup with the youngest team in the world and then got out of the group at the World Cup with strong performances against Wales, Iran and England. While the U.S. performance in Qatar was largely praised and the U.S. was successful in his tenure despite fielding one of the youngest teams in the world, Berhalter’s contract was allowed to expire after the World Cup in part because of issues with one of the team’s young stars. After those stories, Reyna’s parents, former U.S. national players Claudio and Danielle Reyna, longtime friends of Berhalter and his wife, Rosalind Berhalter, reported to former U.S. Soccer sporting director Earnie Stewart an incident from 30 years prior in which Berhalter kicked Rosalind during an argument when the two were freshmen at the University of North Carolina.
