[Saba Sports News] Since the recent dismissal of head coach Gregg Berhalter by the US Soccer Federation, they are currently in search of a suitable replacement. According to the latest reports from American media, they have set their sights on the current head coach of Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, Pellegrino Matarazzo. Today, during a media interview, Matarazzo also addressed this matter. However, his stance on the issue differs from the public perception. Matarazzo openly stated that he was unaware of this development and had no intention of leaving. He stated, “These are all false news. I have never mentioned wanting to leave our club. Anyone who has observed my training sessions and matches knows that I am fully focused on Hoffenheim.”
On February 8, 2023, Hoffenheim officially announced Matarazzo as the new head coach of the team. Under his leadership, Hoffenheim’s performance in the 2023-2024 season has been moderate. In the first 26 rounds of matches in the Bundesliga that have concluded in that season, Hoffenheim achieved a record of 9 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses, currently placing them 8th in the Bundesliga standings.
