USMNT forward Ricardo Pepi may need to clear the air with his national team coach after he put the phone down on him after being told we had not made the 2022 World Cup squad.
Incoming coach Gregg Berhalter left his post as US head coach following the showpiece tournament in Qatar in December following the conclusion of this contract amid controversy. During the World Cup, it emerged that he had been involved in a domestic incident back in 1992 and an independent investigation was launched by US Soccer.
The 49-year-old co-operates with the investigation and also issued an apology for his behaviour where he acknowledged that there were 'zero excuses' for his actions. The investigation concluded in March and it was determined that there was no legal reason why Berhalter could not be re-instated as coach.
