T he Spanish FA (RFEF) have sacked coach Jorge Vilda just weeks after he led Spain to the Women’s World Cup. Rubiales refused to resign for the incident and threatened legal action against Hermoso, before receiving a round of applause from members at an emergency RFEF summit. Vilda was among those spotted clapping the president but made a public U-turn shortly afterwards and condemned his actions. Reports in Spain suggest Rubiales had offered Vilda a new contract last month, to continue his eight-year term in charge of the team. The former Real Madrid youth player joined the national side set-up in 2009 as a women’s youth coach.
