The Spanish soccer world is set to move on after the removal of Luis Rubiales from the presidency of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). Rubiales had been in the position since 2018 and was a controversial figure in the sport.
Rubiales was removed from his position after a vote of no confidence by the RFEF board. His tenure was marked by a number of issues, including a dispute with La Liga over television rights, and a lack of transparency in the organization. He also faced criticism for his handling of the national team, with Spain failing to qualify for the 2020 European Championship.
The RFEF has now appointed former Spanish international and Real Madrid player Fernando Hierro as its new president. Hierro is seen as a more experienced and respected figure in the sport, and his appointment is expected to bring stability to the organization.
Hierro has already outlined his plans for the future of Spanish soccer, including a focus on youth development and improving the quality of the national team. He has also promised to bring transparency to the RFEF, and to ensure that all decisions are made in the best interests of Spanish soccer.
The removal of Rubiales and the appointment of Hierro is seen as a positive step forward for Spanish soccer. It is hoped that Hierro will be able to bring stability and success to the sport, and that he will be able to restore faith in the RFEF. With Hierro at the helm, it looks like Spanish soccer is set to move on to a brighter future.
