Gregg Berhalter has been relieved of his duties as the head coach of the United States men's national team in the aftermath of the team's premature exit from the Copa América group stage, sources tell FOX Sports. Berhalter took over as head coach in 2018, successfully leading the team back to the World Cup and clinching a third consecutive Concacaf Nations League title earlier this year. However, recent struggles and disappointing performances led to his departure.
The decision to part ways with Berhalter has sparked speculation and debate among fans and analysts on social media. Many expect a new coach to bring about change, while others remain skeptical about potential improvements in results. Amidst the speculation, names like Peter Vermes, Jürgen Klopp, and even former USMNT player Steve Cherundolo have emerged as possible successors, igniting conversations among supporters regarding the team's future direction.
While opinions on Berhalter's tenure vary, supporters acknowledge his efforts with the team and his pivotal role in leading the U.S. back to the World Cup. However, recent underwhelming performances have led to calls for change, with some fans expressing cautious optimism about the prospects of a new coach revitalizing the team.
As the U.S. Soccer Federation remains tight-lipped about Berhalter's successor, anticipation among fans continues to grow ahead of the team's next friendly against Canada in September. With the search for a new head coach underway, the USMNT looks to turn a new chapter under fresh leadership as they aim to enhance their performance on the international stage.
