Spain’s World Cup-winning coach Jorge Vilda has been sacked as part of major changes by the RFEF in the wake of the Luis Rubiales scandal.
Vilda led Spain to World Cup glory last month when his side beat England 1-0 in the final, despite facing a mutiny one year previously, when a majority of the squad called for him to be removed from the post.
As a result of the mutiny, 15 players vowed not to play for the team until he left. However, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) stood by Vilda, who was vehemently backed by president Luis Rubiales. The president even promised to give Vilda a new contract after Spain won the World Cup.
