Gregg Berhalter addresses Bruce Arena's departure

player and a member of the USMNT, resigned late Saturday night after a month-long league investigation into alleged “inappropriate and insensitive” behavior. The investigation, Major League Soccer said this weekend, confirmed some of those allegations.“You know, I’m not entirely informed with the ins and outs of that whole thing,” Berhalter said during a press conference ahead of the USMNT’s match against Oman on Tuesday.

Berhalter, like many American coaches, has a long history with Arena. As a player, he featured for Arena’sfrom 2009 until his retirement in 2011. He was arguably the team’s most important defensive player during that span, helping reshape a dreadful Galaxy defense and leading the club to a pair of Supporters’ Shield titles and an MLS Cup in 2011. He spent long stretches of his U.S. national team career playing under Arena and featured in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups during Arena’s tenure.

He worked briefly under Arena as an assistant coach in 2011 before departing for Swedish side Hammarby and later returning, in 2018, to take the reins of the USMNT from Arena himself, who had been at the helm during the tail end of the team’s unsuccessful 2018 World Cup qualification run. Arena is arguably American soccer’s most successful coach, having a lengthy resumé that includes five MLS Cup championships, four Supporters’ Shields and five NCAA College Cups. Arena is a four-time MLS coach of the year and a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame.Subscribe to The Athletic for in-depth coverage of your favorite players, teams, leagues and clubs.
