After U.S. Soccer reviewed allegations of domestic violence, it is bringing Gregg Berhalter back to coach the men's national team.
Former U.S. women’s national team coach Jill Ellis and USWNT legend Carli Lloyd believe Alyssa Thompson deserves to play in 2023 Women’s World Cup.
Berhalter, meanwhile, admitted he has some fences to mend, beginning with Gio Reyna, who he nearly kicked off the World Cup team for insubordinate behavior in Qatar. Berhalter later related the incident, without mentioning the player, during a post-World Cup speaking engagement in New York, a decision he says he regrets.
“I certainly acknowledge that there’s work to do,” Berhalter said. “And part of it is working together with Matt and trying to build rebuild the relationship that we know will be important moving forward.” It took seven months, a worldwide search and dozens of interviews for U.S. Soccer to wind up exactly where it started: with Gregg Berhalter as coach of its men’s national team. That feels like a lot of time and treasure that was wasted at the start of a World Cup cycle that will end with soccer’s biggest tournament being played in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
