Gregg Berhalter acknowledged that his firing in August as U.S. men's national team coach was "a really difficult moment," but said he's now hungry and motivated again to take on his new roles as Chicago Fire head coach and director of football.
Berhalter, 51, was introduced in his twin roles on Thursday by Fire owner Joe Mansueto, and said that he looks at the opportunity with Chicago as a chance to awaken a "sleeping giant."
But he also took some time to reflect on what transpired with the USMNT over the summer, including the group stage exit at the Copa América that ultimately cost him his job.
