 The 50-year-old coach was originally hired in 2018, almost 14 months after the Americans failed to qualify for that year's World Cup. He led the U.S. back to competition in 2022 and into the round of 16 and was rehired ahead of the 2026 World Cup cycle last June. Despite winning a third successive CONCACAF Nations League title in March, the team has struggled throughout Berhalter's second term.
