The US Soccer Federation says Gregg Berhalter remains a candidate to stay on as men’s national team coach after a report by a law firm concluded that he did not improperly withhold information about a 1992 domestic violence allegation involving the women who later became his wife.

The report also concluded that Berhalter’s conduct “likely constituted the misdemeanour crime of assault on a female.”
