S. Soccer Sporting Director Matt Crocker said that Gregg Berhalter and Gio Reyna “recently” had their first conversation since all the drama that unfolded during and after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
As of the U.S. men’s national team camp earlier this month, the two had not spoken since the tournament or since Berhalter was rehired as the U.S. men’s national team coach. That was mainly because Reyna, who plays for German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, missed the camp while recovering from a leg injury.
“Of course we’ve had conversations with Gregg, Gregg has had conversations with Gio, and we’re in a place where, as soon as Gio is fit, he’ll be in the next camp and there’s a way forward,” Crocker said during a roundtable with a group of reporters on Sunday.
“And I can’t wait for him to be in camp, so we can stop talking about this because I think until that moment happens, we still keep writing about it. But I think both Gregg and Gio are in a good place to move forward. That’s the best thing to say.”
