After a chaotic moment in U.S. soccer, Gregg Berhalter gets a second chance

LAS VEGAS — The U.S. Soccer Federation’s search for a men’s national team coach ended where it began Friday with the reappointment of Gregg Berhalter.

The decision came about six months after Berhalter’s contract expired and followed off-the-field controversy involving the parents of a star player, an investigation into a domestic abuse incident that occurred about 30 years earlier and major turnover in the USSF’s front office.

Berhalter agreed to a contract through the 2026 World Cup. Terms were not disclosed. He will return to the post following the Concacaf Gold Cup, which will run from June 24 to July 16.
