Former U.S. men’s national team head coach Gregg Berhalter has been hired as director of football and head coach of the Chicago Fire, according to sources briefed on the decision.
Berhalter, 51, was fired as coach of the U.S. team after they failed to get out of the group stage at the Copa America this summer. Berhalter previously led the U.S. back to the World Cup in 2022, where the Americans advanced from the group stage before falling to the Netherlands in the Round of 16. Berhalter compiled a 44-17-13 record in 74 matches as USMNT head coach and 29-9-7 record in official competitions during his tenure, winning the 2021 Gold Cup and two CONCACAF Nations League titles.
