Jorge Vilda, coach of the women’s football team that recently won the World Cup, was fired after the Rubiales affair. The news is reported by the Spanish sports newspaper Marca. Vilda was in office for eight years.
Jorge Vilda was even the target of a boycott by the players before the World Cup, but was kept in office by the Spanish federation. Now he leaves despite the world title won.
Luis Rubiales has been provisionally suspended as president of the Spanish Football Federation for 90 days after kissing Jenni Hermoso following Spain’s victory in the Women’s World Cup final.
The head of the federation apologized for the behavior in Sydney, but later said the kiss was consensual. Hermoso says no, and that he felt like a “victim of an assault”.
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) on Tuesday institutionally, through the incumbent president, Pedro Rocha, asked the most sincere apologies from world football and fans for the behavior of suspended president Luís Rubiales.
In a letter signed by Pedro Rocha, the RFEF “deplores the totally unacceptable behavior of its highest institutional representative during the final [do Mundial feminino] and at later times”, saying that it does not correspond to the values of Spanish society, its representatives, athletes and leaders.
“The damage to Spanish football, Spanish sport, Spanish society and the values of football and sport has been enormous. Our sincere apologies and a firm and absolute commitment that situations like this will not happen again,” the organization said.
Also at issue is the conduct of Luís Rubiales in the Women’s World Cup final, then inaugurated as president, after he grabbed and kissed a player without permission, after he made inappropriate gestures when he stood in the stands in pursuit of the title . world conquest by Spain.
After that, Luís Rubiales, despite all the controversy that arose, called an Extraordinary General Assembly and said that he would not resign, despite the opposition of various sectors of the government and society in Spain, and was finally suspended by FIFA.
In today’s letter, addressed to FIFA, UEFA, the national federations, to football players, especially from the selections of Spain and England, the losing finalist team, the RFEF insists that the manager does not represent the values of the federation or the country.
“His actions must be attributed solely and exclusively to him. He is solely responsible for his actions towards society, towards the sports organizations and, where appropriate, towards the judiciary,” added the RFEF.
In the same document, the organization says it is at the disposal of the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD) and the Supreme Council of Sport (CSD) to provide the necessary documentary and administrative support for the investigation so that it is resolved as soon as possible . if possible.
