It took the best part of a year. But, eventually, desperately, the USSF made their decision. Gregg Berhalter was to be the new head coach of the U.S. Men’s National Team.
It is not necessarily the most popular of appointments. The ever-wise and never overly-abrasive Alexi Lalas has been highly critical of the decision, arguing that the delay in the hire would have been palatable had the right hire been made. But, in Lalas’ eyes, Berhalter was not the right hire.
Now, I do not know if Berhalter is or is not the right hire.
