Consequences of kiss-gate continues as Spain announce sacking of World Cup winning coach
Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announce the sack of women's national team coach Jorge Vilda weeks after winning the World Cup.
The former coach was also thought to be a supporter of suspended RFEF president Luis Rubiales after he was seen applauding the embattled administrator’s speech at the federation’s general council where he announced that he would not resign in spite of pressure following the Kissgate scandal.
)
Vilda was set for a new contract after becoming a world champion, but the situation quickly changed after Rubiales was suspended by FIFA following allegations of misconduct, and the interim board of the RFEF decided it was best to sack the World Cup winner.
Vilda replaced by Spain’s first-ever female boss
Vilda’s exit from the national team has been met mostly with elation among supporters of the national team, and they will be even happier after Spain hired its first-ever female coach, Montse Tome, to replace him.

Kiss Gate: Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales breaks silence on Kissing scandal
Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish Football Association, has said that attempts to suspend him have been made against him and that he is actually the victim of a political and media decapitation.
Before being appointed as the new Spain women’s national team boss, Tome served as Vilda’s assistant and was with La Roja when they conquered the World in Australia and New Zealand.
)
She has served in that capacity since 2018 and was described by the RFEF as “a key player in the national team's growth,” upon her appointment as head coach.
Her appointment will likely be seen as a move to pacify the backlash that the FA has faced in its treatment of the women under its employ and Tome will be charged with bringing much-needed calm to the raging storm facing the RFEF.
