Divisive former referee Mateu Lahoz has reportedly emerged as a candidate to take over as president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
He has the backing of La Liga's most important clubs, of the league itself, the refereeing body, the Council Superior of Sports and some territorial presidents.
Furthermore, he is said to have had many disagreements with Rubiales, meaning his election as president could mark a significant break from the association's recent past.
