The Spanish football chaos surrounding the kissing scandal has left its mark on the Spanish Football Association in recent weeks. Former federation president Luis Rubiales (46) and world champion coach Jorge Vilda (42) are no longer in office.
For Spain, the Zoff is also an opportunity to fundamentally renew the structures of the association. Away from the macho culture. Hire the ‘right’ people. This is being demanded not only by sports greats, but also by the country’s politicians and the players, who are still on strike despite the dismissals of Rubiales and Vilda.
Spain’s new coach is running out of time
The world champions are demanding, among other things, the resignation of interim president Pedro Rocha (in office until the elections in January). “As we told the RFEF, the changes made so far are not enough to make players feel like they are in a safe place where women are respected,” the players said.
If these and other demands were not met, they would no longer compete for Spain. The problem: New coach Montse Tomé (41) must put together a powerful team as quickly as possible because the important Nations League matches are scheduled for next Saturday (against Sweden) and Tuesday (against Switzerland).
Fines and even disqualification possible
The association does not want to force notable players to join a selection; that is not legally possible. However, he gave the players an ultimatum: if the world champions continued to strike, they would face fines and bans for several years. A decision is expected on Monday.
If the world champions do not respond to a request as expected, this would also have sporting consequences for the association. Coach Tomé should deploy a B team, which would of course drastically increase the Swiss women’s chances of success. If Spain fails to get a team together and compete, the country will be disqualified from the Nations League and fined by UEFA. (par)
