The head coach of Spainโ€™s Womenโ€™s World Cup-winning team, Jorge Vilda, has been sacked due to the ongoing Luis Rubiales kissing scandal.

Jorge Vilda who has been the head coach of Spainโ€™s womenโ€™s team since 2015 survived 15 players revolt in September 2022 but couldnโ€™t survive Rubialesโ€™ kiss scandal.

Recall that ahead of the 2023 Womenโ€™s World Cup in Australia, 15 Spanish women footballers wrote โ€œidentical emailsโ€ to Spainโ€™s football federation (RFEF) saying they wouldnโ€™t play for Vilda unless โ€œsignificantโ€ concerns over their โ€œemotional stateโ€ and โ€œhealthโ€ were addressed.

Since Jorge Vilda is a close friend of Luis Rubiales, the suspended Spainโ€™s football federation president, no action was taken against him. Instead, only three players out of the 15 irate players were taken to the World Cup which they won after beating England in the final.

The victory was overshadowed by the fact that striker Jenni Hermoso said it was not consensual when Rubiales kissed her during the medals presentation.

Due to Rubialesโ€™ refusal to resign over the scandal, 81 players have decided never to play for Spain until the FA president is duly punished. In line with that, FIFA suspended him temporarily as they began disciplinary procedures against him.

Vilda has since denounced Rubialesโ€™ actions even though the embattled FA president promised to extend his contract for winning the first Womenโ€™s World Cup for the country.

But Vildaโ€™s denouncement came after he was seen in a video clapping for Rubiales when he declared to Spainโ€™s FA extraordinary general meeting in August that he wouldnโ€™t resign over a kiss.

While the world is waiting for FIFAโ€™s final verdict on this scandal, the interim Spainโ€™s FA president Pedro Rocha has sacked the 42-year-old World Cup-winning coach.

A statement from Spainโ€™s FA reads, โ€œThe RFEF appreciates [Vildaโ€™s] work at the head of the national team and in his functions as the head of sports for the womenโ€™s teams, as well as the successes achieved during his time crowned with the recent achievement of the World Cup.โ€

โ€œWe value his impeccable personal and sporting conduct, being a key piece in the notable growth of womenโ€™s football in Spain.โ€
