USA coach Greg Berhalter was fired after the embarrassing performance of the team at the Copa America. The Americans became the first hosts in the tournament's history not to make it past the group stage.
The USA recorded losses to Panama and Uruguay in the group and thus did not reach the quarterfinals of the tournament. "We are grateful to Greg for his dedication over the past five years, he has earned the respect of everyone in our organization," commented U.S. Soccer Director of Sport Matt Crocker, who announced that the search process for a new coach has already begun.
The USA will co-host the 2026 World Cup, along with Mexico and Canada, with the Americans determined to have a strong team to make a breakthrough in front of their home crowd. | BGNES
