US Soccer is looking into a decades-old incident involving Gregg Berhalter and his wife, which Berhalter claims was used to bring him down shortly after the USMNT was eliminated from the World Cup.

“During the World Cup, an individual contacted U.S. Soccer saying they had information about me that would take me down,” Berhalter said in a statement.
The USSF is now conducting an investigation into “potential inappropriate behaviour towards multiple members of our staff by individuals outside of our organization.”
During what Berhalter described as a “heated argument” with his then-girlfriend, Rosalind, in 1991, he “kicked her in the legs,” he revealed. He described the incident and its aftermath, as well as how he and Rosalind moved on.

After learning of the allegation against Berhalter on December 11 2022, U.S. Soccer “immediately hired Alston & Bird LLP to conduct an independent investigation into the matter.” The investigation is still going on.
Berhalter wrote that he “voluntarily sought out counselling to help learn, grow and improve one of the most valuable decisions I ever made. That kind of behaviour has never been repeated since.”
