Spain’s World Cup-winning coach Jorge Vilda sacked as kiss row continues – BBC News
The head coach of Spain’s Women’s World Cup winning side, Jorge Vilda has been sacked, as the Luis Rubiales kiss scandal continues.
Spain’s win was overshadowed by their football federation president Rubiales kissing forward Jenni Hermoso after the final - which she said was not consensual - and Rubiales’s refusal to resign led to most of Vilda’s coaching staff resigning, and 81 players refusing to play.
Vilda was spotted applauding Rubiales at the Spanish federation’s extraordinary general assembly earlier in August - when Rubiales repeatedly insisted he would not resign and said he would offer Vilda a new deal - though he has since criticised his behaviour.
Last year, Vilda survived a player ‘revolt’ when 15 players submitted identical emails saying they would not play for him unless "significant" concerns over their "emotional state" and "health" were addressed.
