After decades helping build U.S. Soccer into a giant compared to the organization it was before he arrived, Gulati may want to quit while he's ahead
U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati spent decades behind the scenes in American soccer, helping grow the sport as one of its most influential leaders. It is that history that surely has Gulati feeling like he deserves a chance to finish the work he has started.
