Spain won Womens World Cup final against England; 15 Spain players previously signed a letter calling for Jorge Vildas removal, while he was seen applauding Luis Rubiales during the Spanish FA presidents controversial speech; Montse Tome named as Vildas immediate successor
All 11 of Vilda's backroom colleagues had already resigned in protest over the ongoing crisis surrounding Rubiales, who was pictured kissing Spain forward Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the on-field celebrations in Sydney.
Vilda eventually released a statement criticising Rubiales but stopped short of calling for his resignation or dismissal. The tide began to turn against him during a meeting of regional FA leaders on August 28 with interim RFEF president Pedro Rocha, acting after Rubiales' suspension by FIFA, during which calls were made for Vilda to be removed as part of a restructure at the top of the federation.Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol:
