The U.S. Men’s National Team will have a new face when the United States co-hosts the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as Gregg Berhalter was fired as head coach.

The United States Soccer Federation (USSF), the governing body of soccer in the U.S., announced the decision Wednesday to move on from Berhalter, whose 74 matches as USMNT coach rank as the fifth highest, while his 44 wins are the third most in team history.
