The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) has opened an investigation to get more information about what happened in the domestic violence case in which its last coach was accused, Gregg Berhalterand reported this Tuesday that Anthony Hudson He will be the interim coach for the January friendlies against Serbia and Colombia.
The USSF made this decision pending the results of the investigation into the Berhalter case and reportedly became aware of potential “misbehavior” by elements outside the federation.
Berhalter published a lengthy statement on Tuesday in which he explained that during the last World Cup in Qatar, someone contacted the USSF saying they “had information” about him that would “end” his career with the federation.
The coach himself, whose contract with the US team expired after the World Cup and has not been renewed, explained, in a statement signed with his wife, that in 1991 he had a strong “conflict ” to his bride, and now wife. , Rosalind , and ends up giving her a “kick in the legs”.
The USSF did not publish details about what happened and limited itself to reporting that, after learning, it hired the law firm “Alston & Bird LLP” to conduct an investigation. “During this process, ‘US Soccer’ became aware of alleged inappropriate behavior among various members of our squad by individuals outside of our entity,” the USSF wrote. “We appreciate that Gregg and Rosalind have been open about this incident,” he added.
Berhalter is no longer part of the USSF and in recent weeks negotiations have been opened for his possible renewal or for the hiring of a new coach.
For now, the confidence is given to Anthony Hudson, whose eyes are focused on the preparation of Carson (California) for the friendlies scheduled for the end of January in Los Angeles against Serbia and Colombia.
This is a very important decision for the USSF, because this year begins the long process that will lead to ‘Team USA’ in the 2026 World Cup, where it will be one of the three host countries. The next World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico and will be the biggest ever, with 48 participating teams. The United States will be the heart of that World Cup with eleven host cities and a mix of iconic stadiums and ultra-modern facilities that will add luster to the competition.
