(Reuters) - Former United States international Landon Donovan is considering running for president of the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF), Sports Illustrated reported on its website on Wednesday. Si.com reports that Donovan is "seriously considering" throwing his name into the mix for the election early next year. Current president Sunil Gulati has not yet said he was standing again but was expected to run for his fourth three-year term. "Donovan, who had no comment, has been asked by a number of respected figures in American soccer to contemplate running," according to the report. A senior economics lecturer at Colombia University in New York, Gulati has presided over a period of economical stability as USSF chief.
