① Spain’s soccer federation has dismissed its women’s national team coach,Jorge Vilda, and named as its new coach Montse Tomé. She is the first woman tohold the role in Spain.
② The changes come amid the continuing fallout over the actions of federationpresident, Luis Rubiales, at the Women’s World Cup final — (A) included

forcibly kissing star forward, Jenni Hermoso, amongst other things.
③ In its sacking of Vilda on Tuesday, the federation said “Gracias, Jorge”1and released a statement declaring that over the course of his eight-year helm he “hasbeen key to the remarkable growth of women’s football and leaves Spain as world
champion and second in the FIFA2 ranking.”④ The statement by the Royal Spanish Football Federation, known as the RFEF,
doesn’t mention that Vilda’s job had hung in the balance due to his connection toRubiales and the global condemnation Luis Rubiales has received following Spain’s
victory at the tournament last month.
⑤ The members of Spain’s World Cup-winning team and dozens of other
Spanish players had announced on August 25 that they would refuse to play for Spain
while “the current leaders” continue. Many understood that to mean that the players
were demanding the removal of both Rubiales and Vilda.
The appointment of Tomé sends a message⑥ Tomé, a former player, had been assistant coach to Vilda since 2018. The
team’s first matches with Tomé at the helm will be in the UEFA3 Women’s Nations
League, against Sweden and Switzerland — both teams that Spain beat at theWomen’s World Cup.

was clear: a highly capable woman is now in charge of the top women’s soccer teamin the world — a team that has been through the wringer since winning the Cup.
⑧ “Tomé has established herself as a fundamental piece in the growth of thenational team,” the federation said.
Vilda’s troubles predated the World Cup controversy⑨（イ）Last year, many of the country’s top players refused to play under Vilda,
who they said was too controlling. Three of the those players ended up on the World
Cup roster, but others stayed home as Spain’s team marched to its first title in thetournament.
⑩ Rubiales supported Vilda throughout the controversy, and at the same timethat he refused to resign from his post as federation president for his actions at theWorld Cup, he offered Vilda a new four-year contract worth half a million euros ayear.
*⑪（ウ）Rubiales had been expected by many to resign at that emergency meeting,but instead he firmly refused. Rubiales has said he kissed Hermosa with her consent
after Spain’s World Cup victory, but she has rejected that claim, saying she was “thevictim of aggression.”*
Spain’s soccer federation is apologizing for its embattled president⑫ Rubiales has been provisionally 1 suspended by FIFA, soccer’s world
governing body, for 90 days from all soccer-related activity while disciplinary
proceedings are underway. The government of Spain is also pursuing multiple
proceedings against him, including investigating (B ) he committed a crime.

⑬ Earlier on Tuesday, the RFEF’s interim president, Pedro Rocha, released astatement apologizing to “the world of football” — and especially the national teamsof Spain and England — for Rubiales’ “inappropriate conduct.”⑭ “Spanish society is an example of tolerance and civility ... and that nobility

days by the behavior of Luis M. Rubiales,” wrote Rocha. “The damage caused toSpanish football, Spanish sport, Spanish society, and to the set of values of footballand sport has been enormous.”⑮ “We feel deeply sorry for the damage caused; and therefore, from the RFEF,
we ( C) apologize most sincerely and make a promise to make sure that events

like these can never happen again,” the statement continued.
