US Soccer confirms that an independent investigation was launched by the organization after learning of an allegation against USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter on December 11, 2022.
The investigation is currently being led by Jenny Kramer, BJay Pak and Chris Marquardtof Alston & Bird LLP and is ongoing.
Through this process, US Soccer became aware of potential inappropriate behavior toward several members of our staff by individuals outside of our organization. We take such behavior seriously and have expanded our investigation to include these allegations, US Soccer said in a statement.
We appreciate that Gregg and Rosalind have come forward to speak openly about this incident. In keeping with our commitment to transparency, we will publicly share the results of the investigation when it is complete. US Soccer condemns violence of any kind and takes these allegations very seriously.
An unverified Gregg Berhalter Twitter account detailed the aforementioned allegation, revealing an incident of domestic violence between the head coach and his wife 31 years ago.
The social media post then insinuated that an individual blackmailed Berhalter with this information, approaching US Soccer with a story that would bring him down.

Last month, US Soccer launched a comprehensive technical review of our Men’s National Team program. With ongoing review and investigation, US Soccer reiterated.
At this time, Gregg Berhalter’s future with the organization remains uncertain. His contract as head coach of the United States Men’s National Team has since expired and no update has been given on his position.
But US Soccer has confirmed that an update will be provided in the coming days.
US Soccer will announce who will lead the January men’s national team camp in the coming days. We look forward to building on Qatar’s performance and preparing for the journey to 2026.
