Los Angeles: United States Soccer Federation (USSF) chief Sunil Gulati said on Monday he will not seek re-election next year as the fallout from the USA’s failure to qualify for the World Cup claimed another victim.
Gulati told ESPN in an interview that he had decided not to enter the battle for the presidency of the USSF, which has seen several candidates enter the running.
“I spent a lot of time thinking about it, and talking about it with people in many different positions — many of whom told me I should run,” Gulati said. “But in the end, I think the best thing for me personally, and for the federation, is to see someone new in the job.”
