Reason for Firing: The US men’s national soccer team fired its head coach, Gregg Berhalter, due to a disappointing performance at the 2024 Copa America tournament, where the team failed to advance beyond the group stage.
Tenure: Berhalter had been coaching the team since 2018 and led them to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Contract: His contract was set to expire after the Copa America tournament, and it was decided not to renew it.
Search for New Coach: The search for a new coach is underway, with several high-profile names being considered, including:
Mauricio Pochettino, former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain manager
Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager
Jesse Marsch, former Leeds United manager.
Steps: The US Soccer Federation will conduct a thorough search process to find the best candidate to lead the team to the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
