Spain’s football federation (RFEF) has sacked Jorge Vilda, the coach of its World Cup-winning women’s team, as part of the fallout caused by the kiss on the lips on player Jenni Hermoso by its president, a source close to the matter. A new board formed after the suspension of RFEF president Luis Rubiales by FIFA over the allegedly non-consensual kiss during the World Cup victory celebration two weeks ago has terminated Vilda’s contract, the source said. The scandal involving Rubiales has quickly spiralled into a national debate over women’s rights and sexist behaviour. Considered a close ally of Rubiales, Vilda had been under fire since last year after 15 players staged a mutiny calling for his resignation because of his inadequate coaching methods and calling for conditions to match those of the men’s squad. Most of the players involved were cut out of the squad even as some demands were met.
