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.
