Gregg Berhalter remains a candidate to stay on as U.S. men’s national team coach after a report by a law firm determined he did not improperly withhold information about a 1992 domestic violence allegation involving the woman who later became his wife, the U.S. Soccer Federation said Monday.
The firm Alston and Bird was retained after former U.S. captain Claudio Reyna and wife Danielle Egan Reyna, the parents of current American midfielder Gio Reyna,following the decision by Berhalter to use Gio Reyna sparingly at last year’s World Cup. The report described the incident as “an isolated event, and we find no evidence to suggest that Mr. Berhalter has engaged in similar misconduct at any other time.”
Former U.S. men’s team general manager Brian McBride gave the investigators a text he received from Claudio Reyna — a former teammate — on Nov. 21 after Gio Reyna wasn’t used in the Americans’ opening 1-1 draw with Wales at the World Cup. After the remarks became public and it was clear they referred to Gio Reyna, Claudio and Danielle Reyna called Stewart on Dec. 11 and revealed the allegation of the 1992 incident.“Some media reports characterized the Reynas’ actions as ‘blackmail,'” the report said. “As a legal matter, we do not arrive at the same conclusion.”
