The head of Spain's soccer federation won't resign despite having kissed a player on the lips without her consent after the Women’s World Cup final.
After the USWNT’s disappointing performance in World Cup, coach Vlatko Andonovski resigns and Twila Kilgore becomes interim. Coaching search begins.Since Rubiales became a national embarrassment, criticism and calls for him to go have mounted daily, with, Sánchez’s government, players’ unions and voices from inside men’s soccer saying he must go. The only relevant institution to remain silent has been European soccer body UEFA, of which Rubiales is a vice president.
FIFA gave no timetable for a ruling. The body’s disciplinary judges can impose sanctions on individuals ranging from warnings and fines to suspensions from the sport. The investigation by FIFA came after Sánchez said that Rubiales’ attempt to apologize, which came after he initially insulted his critics, was unconvincing and that “he must continue taking further steps” to be held accountable.
