The new U.S. Soccer president is seen by many as a status quo pick to replace Sunil Gulati, something he will have to work hard to change
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
That was the sentiment in some circles when Carlos Cordeiro emerged as the winner in the contentious U.S. Soccer presidential election. Two years as Sunil Gulati's vice-president, which followed 10 years on the U.S. Soccer Board of Directors, earned Cordeiro the justified label of U.S. Soccer insider, but Cordeiro succeeded in convincing voters that he was actually a candidate for change, and certainly more of one than fellow favorite Kathy Carter.
