The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) has reappointed Gregg Berhalter as the head coach of the United States men’s national team. Berhalter, who was the head coach from 2018 to 2022, will lead the team through the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Berhalter’s reappointment comes after a lengthy search process. The USSF interviewed a number of candidates, including former USMNT players Claudio Reyna and Earnie Stewart.
In a statement, USSF President Cindy Parlow Cone said that Berhalter was the “unanimous choice” of the search committee. “Gregg has a proven track record of success as a coach,” Cone said. “He has a deep understanding of the game and the players, and he is committed to building a winning culture for the USMNT.”
Berhalter led the USMNT to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where they reached the Round of 16. He led the team to a runner-up finish in the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Berhalter is a former USMNT player. He played for the team from 1994 to 2006, and he was a member of the 2002 FIFA World Cup team.
Berhalter’s reappointment is a major boost for the USMNT. He is a respected coach with a proven track record of success. He is also a former USMNT player, which gives him a deep understanding of the team and its culture.
Berhalter will face a number of challenges in his second stint as head coach. The USMNT is currently ranked 15th in the world, and they will need to improve their ranking if they want to be successful at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
