Gregg Berhalter, the U.S. men's national team head coach, faces scrutiny after the team's elimination from the Copa America group stage with a 1-0 loss to Uruguay and Panama advancing. Criticism from analysts and former players highlights concerns about Berhalter's leadership and lack of progress since the last World Cup. The decision to potentially replace Berhalter before the 2026 World Cup raises questions about finding a suitable replacement and the team's future performance. Despite some strengths, including continental success, Berhalter's tenure is marred by a lack of significant growth and recent disappointing results, prompting discussions on his dismissal if the team fails to reach the Copa America semifinals.
