Spain federation president Luis Rubiales resigns

Luis Rubiales has resigned as the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation [RFEF] due to the ongoing investigations against him following his unsolicited kiss on Spain forward Jenni Hermoso.

Hermoso filed a criminal complaint earlier this week, which led to prosecutors filing a case with Spain's top court against Rubiales. He is facing charges of sexual assault and coercion for his conduct after last month's World Cup final, which Spain won 1-0 against England.

His behaviour, which also saw him grabbing his crotch and kissing other players, subsequently saw him suspended from all football-related activity by FIFA, football's top governing body, for 90 days as they carry out their own investigation.
