Anthony Hudson Replacing Gregg Berhalter as USMNT Coach for January Camp

The United States men's national team has named Anthony Hudson as its temporary coach for the upcoming January camp and friendlies.

The squad is scheduled to face Serbia on Jan. 25 and Colombia on Jan. 28 in a pair of exhibition matches.

The contract for previous head coach Gregg Berhalter ran through the end of 2022, while the team announced it is still in the midst of its "full review of the USMNT program following the conclusion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup."

After missing the 2018 World Cup, Berhalter helped lead the squad back to football's biggest stage. The Americans advanced through the group-stage, before losing to the Netherlands in the round of 16.

On Tuesday, Berhalter released a statement disclosing an incident where he kicked his now-wife Rosalind in 1991.

The statement noted someone contacted U.S. Soccer during the World Cup with this information intending to take him down.

ESPN's Jeff Carlisle and Kyle Bonagura reported Gio Reyna's parents, Claudio and Danielle Reyna, were the ones who sent messages to U.S. Soccer executives.

U.S. Soccer announced it has hired a firm to conduct an independent investigation into the incident.

The USMNT has gone 37-12-11 in four years under Berhalter, including winning the Gold Cup and CONCACAF Nation's League.

While there is still uncertainty about the coach's future with the team, Hudson will take over in the interim after serving as an assistant for the USMNT during the World Cup. He previously coached the United States U20 team and spent parts of two seasons with the Colorado Rapids in the MLS.

Dave Sarachan spent over a year as the team's interim coach after the last World Cup cycle before Berhalter was hired in December 2018.
