The Spanish Soccer Federation (RFEF) has recently made a controversial decision to dismiss the coach of the women’s national team, Jorge Vilda, after a dispute with the president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales.
Jorge Vilda had been in charge of the women’s national team since 2015 and had led them to great success, including a runner-up finish in the 2019 Women’s World Cup. However, tensions between Vilda and Rubiales had been growing for some time, and it all came to a head when Vilda publicly criticized Rubiales for his handling of the team’s finances.
The decision to dismiss Vilda has been met with criticism from both fans and players alike. Many have argued that Vilda was unfairly dismissed and that Rubiales was using the situation to further his own agenda. Others have argued that Rubiales was justified in his decision, as Vilda had gone too far in his criticism of the president.
Regardless of which side of the debate one takes, it is clear that this is a major setback for the women’s national team. Vilda had been instrumental in their success and his dismissal could have a significant impact on their future. It remains to be seen how the team will fare without their former coach, but one thing is certain: the RFEF’s decision to dismiss Vilda has caused a great deal of controversy and debate.
