In the midst of another tailspin of results just two years after the U.S. men’s national team failed to qualify for World Cup 2018, U.S. Soccer sporting director Earnie Stewart gave a vote of confidence to coach Gregg Berhalter during a conference call with reporters on Tuesday ahead of Friday’s Concacaf Nations League home game against Canada.
When asked if Berhalter’s job is safe no matter what happens this week results-wise, Stewart said: “We’re looking at the future, so yeah, I would say when I evaluate Gregg and the coaching staff and what I’ve seen today, I’m a pleased man.
