Gregg Berhalter has been fired as coach of the U.S. men's national soccer team following a disappointing performance in the Copa America.
The U.S. Soccer Federation announced the firing Wednesday after a dismal group stage exit in the tournament hosted on U.S. soil.
“We are now focused on working with our Sporting Director Matt Crocker and leveraging his experience at the highest levels of the sport to ensure we find the right person to lead the USMNT into a new era of on-field success," U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone said in a statement announcing Berhalter's departure.
The U.S. opened last month's Copa America play with a steady 2-0 win against Bolivia in the tournament featuring teams from South America, Central America, North America and the Caribbean.
Many pundits projected the U.S. team as one of the two teams expected to advance from the opening round in Group C.
