Luis Rubiales' Kiss Controversy: Spanish FA Regional Presidents ask the embattled coach to resign

The Spanish football federation’s regional presidents have demanded that Luis Rubiales “immediately resign”, pulling support for the football chief days after its members heartily applauded his vow to stay on.

Yesterday, more than a week after Rubiales grabbed forward Jenni Hermoso by the head and planted a kiss on her lips, the federation’s regional presidents were summoned to an “extraordinary and urgent” meeting in Madrid to assess the impact of the crisis.

A committee consisting of the presidents of the RFEF's regional federations met for five hours yesterday to discuss next steps after FIFA hit Rubiales with a provisional suspension for 90 days and the Spanish government also sought his removal over his behaviour following the Women's World Cup final.

They emerged six hours later, publishing a unanimous joint statement: “After the latest events and the unacceptable behaviours that have seriously damaged the image of Spanish football, we request that Mr Luis Rubiales immediately present his resignation as president of the Spanish football federation.” #Luisrubiales #Luisrubialeskisscontroversy #Luisrubialestoresign ~HT.98~PR.153~ED.102~
