The U.S. men's national team will endure at least one significant change as it heads into the home stretch of World Cup qualifying.
Gregg Berhalter's top assistant coach, Nico Estévez, has left for FC Dallas, where he has become the club's new manager. According to multiple reports, Luchi Gonzalez, who was fired as FC Dallas's coach in September, will take his place in a de facto coaching trade. Estévez returns to MLS, where he previously assisted Berhalter at the Columbus Crew.
Estévez, who earlier in his career spent time at Valencia, is credited with a large role in helping secure the commitment of Yunus Musah, who was also eligible for England, Italy and Ghana before he pledged his international allegiance to the U.
