Rubiales kissed Spain player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the World Cup victory celebrations, with Hermoso since explaining that the kiss was not consensual, despite the president’s insistence that it was. Coach of the Spanish men’s national football team, Luis de la Fuente, has now apologised for applauding Rubiales during the speech in which he refused to resign. He has now described a “situation that overwhelmed many of us for which I was not prepared for” and stated that he expects Rubiales to resign.
