“I worked for a long time in the Federation, the work done by Luis Rubiales and his staff was really exceptional work. There were very good performances, the numbers speak for themselves. Regarding the last episode, the president admitted his mistakes and my opinion is not necessarily necessary on this subject, ”explained Luis Enrique, in office at the head of La Roja between 2019 and 2022.

Luis Rubiales has been at the center of a storm since forcibly kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the mouth after Spain won the Women’s World Cup on Sunday. But the president of the RFEF, in office since 2018, took everyone by surprise by refusing to resign on Friday during an extraordinary General Assembly of the Federation.
