Vilda won World Cup with team in Australia and New ZealandLeading players demanding change amid Rubiales scandal
Spain’s football federation (RFEF) is preparing to sack Jorge Vilda, who faced down a player mutiny to steer his team to World Cup glory after he refused to resign in a scandal shaking the sport, an RFEF source has told Reuters.
The 42-year-old cut a sometimes isolated figure in Australia as his squad largely celebrated without him, and he has now become embroiled in a backlash against the RFEF president, Luis Rubiales, who kissed Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the presentation after the final.
