Two and a half years since the United States men's national team star made his initial move to the Bundesliga from New York City FC, he is feeling at home in Germany. The 20-year-old recently signed a new contract with Borussia Monchengladbach that will keep him tied to the club through the 2026-27 season, so he can enjoy full security in his club position.
Scally is now a Bundesliga starter, playing over 60 times for his team. He's also become a USMNT regular and a World Cup veteran who now seems poised to make a real push for a starting spot on the road to 2026.
With the new contract signed, Scally took the time to reflect on adjusting to life in Germany, his role in paying it forward and future expectations with the USMNT.
"I was just a little kid," he said looking back at his move. "I'm still young, but I was nervous, not used to it, not used to the culture, but I've moved in. I'm part of the first team now and I feel much, much more comfortable. I'm part of the national team now and I've established myself there.
"I just feel very comfortable and more experienced overall with everything, with life, with soccer. I've definitely grown up these last two years."
