USMNT's coach went public with a domestic violence incident from his past after the mother of current midfielder Gio Reyna told U.S. Soccer about it out of frustration at her son's treatment at the World Cup.
When he was 18 — four months into dating his now-wife Rosalind at UNC — they got into a drunken argument that ended with him kicking her in the legs.They've been married for 25 years, have four children, and "to this day, that type of behavior has never been repeated," he wrote.It turns out the reason Berhalter shared the story is that Danielle Reyna — wife of former USMNT captain Claudio and mother of current USMNT midfielder Gio — had already told U.S.
in a live interview on Thursday, "It was [my wife's] story to tell, if she chose to or not. That's what really saddens me.
"I would have wanted and expected him to give the same grace to Gio. This is why the current situation is so very hurtful and hard."Gio's father Claudio played alongside Gregg for decades at the youth, high school and national levels. These families are — or at least were — very close.This incident will always be a part of the USMNT's 2022 World Cup story, and could impact the team's trajectory towards 2026.
Berhalter's contract expired on Dec. 31, but Stewart said Wednesday that he could be re-hired pending results of the investigation.Axios on facebook
