Spain Sack World Cup-Winning Coach Jorge Vilda Amid Fallout From Luis Rubiales Scandal

Jorge Vilda, Spain’s Women’s World Cup-winning head coach, has been sacked amid the ongoing Luis Rubiales scandal.

Montse Tome has been named as his successor, becoming the first woman to hold the position.

Spain’s win was overshadowed by the country’s football federation president Rubiales kissing forward Jenni Hermoso, which she said was not consensual.

Most of Vilda’s coaching staff resigned and 81 players refused to play for Spain in the aftermath.
