The USMNT is shaking things up after their terrible Copa America showing.
It ends an extremely polarizing five-and-a-half seasons in charge for Berhalter, which ended in an embarrassing group stage exit at the 2024 Copa America – hosted on U.S. soil.
A former USMNT player himself, Berhalter as manager won two continental championships — the Nations League title in 2021 and the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup, both times defeating Mexico in the final. But in his first major tournament since being re-hired, the Copa America, the USMNT was humiliated. After beating Bolivia in the opener, the USMNT lost to Panama and Uruguay and became the first-ever host nation to be eliminated in the group stage in tournament history.
Berhalter’s tenure was also marred by a brief scandal. After one of the team’s more promising players, Gio Reyna, did not receive much playing time at the 2022 World Cup, Berhalter, while speaking at a leadership conference, alluded to a player he had to discipline and nearly send home due to bad behavior. Berhalter did not name Reyna by name, but it was clear the latter was whom Berhalter was referring to.
