US Soccer has hired a law firm to oversee an investigation of manager Gregg Berhalter over details surrounding an act of domestic violence that occurred in 1991, the federation announced in a statement on Tuesday.
Berhalter released a statement of his own on Tuesday, saying that someone had contacted US Soccer saying they had information that would "take him down" and revealed that he had kicked his longtime partner, Rosalind, following a barroom argument.
"In the fall of 1991, I met my soulmate. I had just turned 18 and was a freshman in college when I met Rosalind," Berhalter wrote on Twitter.
