Vilda fired as Spain boss in Rubiales unsolicited kiss fallout - source
Spain's Women's World Cup-winning head coach Jorge Vilda has been fired by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) as the fallout to Luis Rubiales' behaviour continues, a source told ESPN.
With Rubiales suspended as Spanish FA president for 90 days by FIFA following his unsolicited kiss on forward Jenni Hermoso, the committee of regional presidents in charge of the RFEF, led by Pedro Rocha, has informed Vilda of the decision to fire him. Rocha is set to meet with Spain's National Sports Council (CSD) president Victor Francos later Tuesday.
