Gregg Berhalter is embarking on his first World Cup journey as a head coach with the U.S. Men's National Team in Qatar.
The 49-year-old was hired back in 2018 following the upheaval of the USMNT missing out on the 2018 World Cup. In the wake of that disaster, Berhalter was appointed to steady the ship, and he has ushered in an era of young talent.
The U.S. head into the Qatar tournament with high hopes of building through the 2022 World Cup and into the next four-year cycle, culminating with joint hosting of the 2026 FIFA tournament, alongside Canada and Mexico.
While Berhalter has provided a calming presence in the wake of the tumultuous Jurgen Klinsmann and Bruce Arena (Part 2) tenures, not all has been easy, and the U.S. head man has faced his fair share of criticism from demanding media and fans alike.
