Gregg Matthew Berhalter (/ˈbɜːrˌhɔːltər/, BUR-hawl-tər;[2] born August 1, 1973) is an American soccer coach and former player. He is the incoming head coach and director of football for Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire, a role he will assume following the end of the 2024 season. He was most recently the head coach of the United States men's national soccer team.[3] He is the first person in United States history to participate in the FIFA World Cup as both a player and head coach. His tenure as coach has been noted for the recruitment of a younger player roster.
He originally served in the role from 2018 to 2022; following the expiration of his contract, U.S. Soccer employed interim head coaches before rehiring him to the post on June 16, 2023. His tenure with United States men's national team ended a week after the team's early elimination in the 2024 Copa América group stage, as the team's performance in the tournament they hosted was perceived as a disappointment.[4] Berhalter previously coached Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer, Hammarby in Sweden and served as an assistant coach for LA Galaxy.
