Gregg Berhalter is a soccer coach who has had a controversial tenure with the United States men's national team (USMNT). He was first hired as the USMNT coach in December 2018 and led the team to the knockout stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. However, his contract expired in January 2023 and he was not immediately rehired due to allegations of domestic violence from his past. In March 2023, an investigation report revealed that Berhalter's wife had threatened to reveal damaging information about him to U.S. Soccer officials during the World Cup, and that the parents of budding star Giovanni Reyna had attempted to orchestrate his downfall. Despite these controversies, Berhalter was reintroduced as the USMNT coach on June 24, 2023 and will take over from interim coach B.J. Callahan at the conclusion of the Gold Cup.
