Vilda dismissed as chaos at Spanish FA continues42-year-old had been in charge of team for eight years
Jorge Vilda has been sacked as the Spain coach after eight years in charge of the women’s team, despite winning the World Cup last month.
The 42-year-old had come under increasing pressure after initially supporting Luis Rubiales, the federation president who was suspended by Fifa from all football-related activity after kissing the player Jennifer Hermoso on the lips during the awards ceremony. Rubiales claims the kiss was consensual, Hermoso has said it was not.
