Wolfsburg sporting director Marcel Schafer says he is not surprised that his former teammate Gregg Berhalter has taken charge of the U.S. men's national team as he added that he believes that the American coach has all the skills required to manage in the Bundesliga someday.
Schafer played next to Berhalter during his time at 1860 Munich, with the USMNT boss featuring for the club from 2006-09 before returning to the U.S. to play for the LA Galaxy.
Shortly after arriving, the then-33-year-old Berhalter was named the club's captain, having previously played for the likes of Crystal Palace and Energie Cottbus.
