The vice president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation and president of the Women’s Football Commission, Rafael del Amo, resigned this Friday from his position, alleging that he cannot be part of a project in which he does not believe.
“I submitted my resignation after seeing that Luis Rubiales continues to lead the federation. I was the only president who told him to his face. I believed in a women’s project that did not exist and he is betting on it at 27 years old”. “I am very grateful, but I think, above all because of what happened in the cabin, that it is unacceptable,” Rafael del Amo justified in statements to the Spanish media RTVE.
The director told Rubiales that the gesture in the box, grabbing his genitals, was not appropriate.
“I told him: I have to be honest with you. You can’t be here as president. I have to thank him, I respect what he does, but I can’t be in a project that I don’t believe in.” “It’s clear. I was going to resign today,” added the vice president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
The president of the Spanish Higher Sports Council (CSD) has affirmed this Friday that he will denounce the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, before the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD) with the aim of suspending him.
Víctor Francos, Secretary of State for Sports and, at the same time, president of the Spanish CSD, assured that the organization will proceed to denounce “very serious infractions”.
This conference took place after the announcement made this Friday by Luis Rubiales, who repeatedly stated that he does not resign, after the kiss on the lips that he gave to the soccer player Jenni Hermoso, in the celebration, on Sunday, of the women’s world title in Spain. .
The leader was applauded by the Assembly, which included coach Jorge Vilda. A shock wave followed Luís Rubiales’ announcement, with countless athletes and personalities expressing their discontent with the coach.
