The epically long search for the next U.S. national team coach is winding to a close, with a hire expected to be made before the end of November. All signs point to Columbus Crew head coach Gregg Berhalter being the pick, and that would be perfectly fine with Landon Donovan.
The retired U.S. national team legend was full of praise for Berhalter, who saw his team's season ended in Sunday's MLS playoff loss to the New York Red Bulls.
"What he’s done with much less budget than the other teams historically in the playoffs is remarkable, so you have to give him a ton of credit for that," Donovan told Goal.
