Nashville SC announced B.J. Callaghan as their new head coach on Wednesday.
Callaghan, 43, has been a U.S. men's national team assistant since 2019.
As the USMNT interim head coach in 2023, he led the squad to the Concacaf Nations League title.

The American Outlaws Gregg Berhalter statement released on Wednesday illustrated the United States men’s national team head coach’s loss of support from fans and media.
Several U.S. Soccer supporters’ groups have publicly called for a head coaching change. Barra 76 were one of the first groups to release a statement on Tuesday.
“We believe replacing Gregg Berhalter as head coach of the USMNT is essential to revitalizing our national team’s strategy and achieving the results our players and supporters deserve,” Barra 76 said.
FRANKFURT — German police are investigating a video appearing to show stadium personnel viciously beating a fan during the Portugal vs Slovenia Euro 2024 match.
The video, which Reuters has not been able to verify, shows a man in a steward's top repeatedly hitting someone in the face as colleagues restrain him in a Frankfurt Arena gangway. Two others kick and beat the man further when he falls to the floor.

One of the big talking points following the United States men’s national team’s 1-0 loss to Uruguay was the Gregg Berhalter 1-1 gesture to his players shortly before conceding.
Prior to Uruguay’s goal the USMNT had been given a lifeline from the other Group C game as Bolivia scored against Panama to make the score 1-1. If that game were to remain a draw and the USMNT tied Uruguay, the U.S. would advance to the knockout stage.
LEIPZIG — Turkey's Merih Demiral struck in each half to guide his team to a high-octane 2-1 victory over Austria on Tuesday and book their spot in Euro 2024's last eight.
Amid pouring rain, Austria pulled a goal back when substitute Gregoritsch finished at the far post in the 66th but despite late pressure and a golden chance for Christoph Baumgartner, who was denied by a superb save from Mert Gunok in stoppage time, Rangnick's men could not find an equalizer.

MUNICH — Netherlands' Cody Gakpo scored his third goal of the European Championship and Donyell Malen added two more late on as the Dutch burst back into form with a lively display to defeat Romania 3-0 in their last-16 fixture on Tuesday.
Malen notched his second in stoppage time when he collected the ball in midfield, dribbled into the penalty area and fired past Nita as the Dutch served notice that they have started to click at the tournament.

The Christian Pulisic referee handshake moment after the United States’ 1-0 defeat to Uruguay on Monday was a controversial topic of discussion.
Peruvian referee Kevin Ortega had a horrendous night of officiating for the pivotal Copa América game with a highlight reel of fails. Ortega and Pulisic often bumped heads during the fixture with the American star not impressed with Ortega’s officiating.
In the final minutes of the game Pulisic took a shot near Uruguay’s box and took a hit from behind. Pulisic furiously yelled at Ortega about no foul being called.
Gregg Berhalter and the United States men’s national team were eliminated from Copa América on Monday with a 1-0 loss to Uruguay. Controversial referee calls, ridiculous camera angles and a horrid performance sentenced the USMNT to a group stage exit.
The awful camera angles from the broadcast were an omen of things to come. Were we looking at Arrowhead Stadium or an ant hill? We couldn’t tell.
Germany’s 2-0 Round of 16 victory vs. Denmark experienced a delay in the first half due to some of the craziest severe weather we’ve seen at a professional soccer game.
Around the 34th minute the game was temporarily suspended due to lightning near the stadium in Dortmund. The players hovered around the field for several minutes before retreating to the locker room.
The suspension lasted around 25 minutes as intense lightning strikes lit up the sky, hail came down and waterfalls appeared in the stadium. Craziness.
The U.S men’s national team could have a better chance of beating Uruguay on Monday than most people believe… at least that’s what sports books say.
The USMNT will go into the last match day of the 2024 Copa América looking to get a huge win against none other than Uruguay — one of the tournament’s top contenders and best in-form national teams so far in the group stage.
