Prominent U.S. Soccer Supporters’ Groups Call for Gregg Berhalter’s Ouster
Title: US Soccer Supporters Demand Replacement of USMNT Coach Gregg Berhalter
In the wake of the U.S. men’s national team’s early exit from the Copa América, prominent supporters’ groups such as the American Outlaws and Barra 76 are calling for the removal of head coach Gregg Berhalter.
Barra 76 released a statement expressing deep concern over the current state of the national team under Berhalter, stating that a change in leadership is essential to revitalizing the team’s strategy and achieving better results. The American Outlaws, the largest U.S. supporters’ group, also emphasized the need for accountability and a plan to move forward, suggesting that it is time for a change in the head coaching position.
The overwhelming sentiment among fans, pundits, and observers is that Berhalter must be replaced. Fans have even chanted for his firing at games, and social media debates on the topic have been largely one-sided.
The statements from these supporters’ groups are significant as they work closely with the U.S. Soccer Federation to organize events and create vibrant atmospheres at matches. The federation is currently conducting a review of the team’s performance in the Copa América and considering how to improve results leading up to the 2026 World Cup.
The timeline for a decision on Berhalter’s future with the team is uncertain, but fans are making their voices heard in demanding change. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
