Spain federation president Luis Rubiales resigns
Spanish football federation chief Luis Rubiales, engulfed in a controversy over allegations he gave an unsolicicted kiss to a player on the Women's World Cup team last month, said on Sunday he will resign from his position as president.
Rubiales, who was suspended by the federation for 90 days on Aug. 26, announced his resignation in a statement.
A Spanish prosecutor filed a complaint with the High Court against Rubiales last week for sexual assault and coercion over his allegedly unsolicited kiss on the lips of Jenni Hermoso.
