Former United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann says the fallout from the public dispute between coach Gregg Berhalter and the family of young star Gio Reyna is “obviously not looking good” for U.S. soccer.
Klinsmann, who coached the men’s national team from 2011-2016, said Wednesday he felt the problems between Berhalter and Reyna may have played a role in the team’s performance at the World Cup in Qatar. The U.S. advanced from the group stage before being eliminated with a 3-1 loss to the Netherlands in the round of 16.
They’ve done okay,” Klinsmann said in an online call with journalists. “But they were not capable of kind of stepping it up there and making something happen.”
