Gregg Berhalter, the head coach of the U.S. men's national team, has been sacked following their disappointing early exit from the 2024 Copa America. Despite high expectations, the team's loss to Panama and subsequent failure to progress past the group stage led to Berhalter's departure. With the focus on the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, the search for a new coach is now underway. Berhalter, during his tenure, struggled to secure significant victories outside of matches against Mexico and Iran. The U.S. Soccer Federation is now looking towards a fresh start and is considering potential big-name managers like Jose Mourinho, Joachim Low, Zinedine Zidane, or even Jurgen Klopp. The priority remains finding a coach who can lead the team to success in the upcoming World Cup, emphasizing the need to maximize the team's potential and performance on the field.
