Despite overseeing the U.S. program as the men's national team missed the World Cup for the first time in decades, Gulati said he is not stepping down
U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati says he is not going resign from his position following the men's national team's failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
At a press conference Friday, Gulati said he accepted responsibility for the qualifying disaster, which saw the U.S. miss out on the World Cup for the first time since 1986. As a result, U.S. manager Bruce Arena announced his resignation earlier Friday.
