Luis Rubiales Finally Announces Resignation as Spanish FA President in Interview with Piers Morgan Following Weeks of Criticism for Kissing Jenni Hermoso in Women’s World Cup Final
Luis Rubiales, the President of the Spanish Football Association (FA), has announced his resignation in an interview with Piers Morgan. Rubiales faced intense criticism in recent weeks after he was seen kissing Jenni Hermoso, a player from the Spanish women’s national team, during the Women’s World Cup final.
Rubiales’ decision to step down comes after mounting pressure from fans, players, and officials who deemed his actions inappropriate and unprofessional. The incident sparked a heated debate about gender equality and respect within the football community.
In the interview with Piers Morgan, Rubiales expressed regret for his behavior and acknowledged the negative impact it had on the reputation of the Spanish FA. He stated that he did not want his actions to overshadow the achievements of the Spanish women’s team and believed that stepping down was the right course of action.
