Berhalter Out, Pfeifer In

It hasn't been long since that day in Couva and the USMNT have come to terms with young manager Eric Pfeifer. With the promise of a roster turnover filled with a youth movement, Pfeifer comes into the role with hopes of success.

As the CONCACAF Nations League approaches, Pfeifer has his first chance to select a squad with an eye towards World Cup Qualifying, and ultimately the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The future is now with Pfeifer in charge. Stars like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, and Sergino Dest are ready to take the USMNT to the next level.

Introducing Pfeifer's First USMNT Squad

Pfeifer has been thrown a bone with a home match in Dallas against 180th ranked Cuba. Given this opportunity, his initial squad is loaded with youth.

With Tim Howard relaxing in retirement, the Zack Steffen era in goal is about to take flight in the first meaningful game of 2019. Rounding out the goalkeeping crew are veteran MLS goalkeeper Bill Hamid and relative youngster Matt Turner who has come out of nowhere for Bruce Arena and the New England Revolution.

With Antonee Robinson out injured, Tim Ream looks to step in at left back in the very Euro-centric back line.

There are a couple surprises in the midfield with Michael Bradley out injured - the biggest surprise coming with the potential first cap of Efrain Alvarez, the much-hyped LA Galaxy creative playmaker.

Up top, the oft-injured Jozy Altidore represents the current team, while Josh Sargent represents the future.
