On the afternoon of last Thursday, August 24, Luis Rubiales I met him He took the team he trusted to his office and confirmed the news: “I’m resigning tomorrow. There’s no point in continuing this. We have no way out.” After the statements of Pedro Sánchez, Miquel Iceta, Félix Bolaños, and Víctor Francos, Government pressure put the President into a corner. Spanish Football Federation and splashed water on the council members. And this leak is the leak that sank the ship of Rubiales, who urged the extraordinary council to defend itself and stand on its shoulders with the unanimous support of the loyal councilors. But as the hours passed and contacted them, it was also confirmed that they would not receive this unanimous support. He wouldn’t even be able to do that because he needed 70 out of 140 votes.
Real Sociedad joined with Aperribay after Getafe opened the friendly fire of clubs against him: “Things were very serious, just like the image of the leader of Spanish football in the Federation.” The trickle started after what came from San Sebastián: Athletic, Alaves, Betis… And a Cádiz accused of particular violence: “This club did not, did not and will not believe in the management of Luis Rubiales. We are not going to the meeting, but this decision is not due to his recent performances, although he is now a sad hero of unspeakable actions and of what our football has made its mark on the world. “From the most modest categories to professionals, we don’t go to many sports where this sport does not reach the level it deserves, with men, women and referees.”
Iceta’s lace and FIFA file
The third floor of Ciudad del Fútbol was demoralized, especially regarding FIFA’s Rubiales “violating the ground rules of honorable behavior or a natural or legal person in any way, especially using gestures, signs or offensive language”. Obscene gestures of Motril man in Sydney box putting his hand on his groin in front of fans Queen Letizia And Gianni Infantinohead Fifathey did not overlook.
They did not like Alexander Ceferin, who was not there and saw how the Andalusians were.UEFA vice-president was European institution’s highest position in women’s World Cup final. UEFA warned it was examining the case and did not rule out the possibility of expelling itself from the Executive Committee if disqualified.
Just then, as FIFA and UEFA’s decision became known, Culture and Sports Minister Miquel Iceta gave Rubiales the last straw and confirmed that “CSD will present the complaints to TAD next week”. This meant: whatever happened in the Assembly and Regardless of the outcome of the Federation’s Integrity department’s internal investigationThe government would disqualify him, sending him into uncertainty that the RFEF would lose all authority under his command, following a circuitous process that would later result in his resignation.
Complaints submitted to TAD and Futpro statement
Jenni Hermoso’s decision to leave the management of the different measures to be taken in the hands of the Futpro union, placed a heavy burden on Rubiales, who kept inflation down while accumulating setbacks. Despite this, Rubiales never considered resigning until he realized he would not hold Friday’s meeting.
Wednesday was already a tough day for the president, who took shelter in his office and was busy on the phone on his 46th birthday, trying to put out the fires instead of enjoying the day. But this Thursday meant checking for reality with two decisive blows that weakened their resistance and credibility with members of parliament:
FIFA’s decision and approval by Iceta to forward four complaints against Rubiales to the TAD. The last one formulated by the Professional Women’s Football League and added to the previous ones Miguel Angel GalanPresident of the National Center for Training of Football Coaches (CENAFE); related to To add; And Xavier Estrada FernandezFormer referee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
Five years of scandals and extraordinary sports management
This Friday Rubiales will bid his farewell in a Football CityIt will be flooded with accredited media to report on the departure of the Federation president. In the afternoon, the Federation’s press department reported: “Given the extremely high participation of accredited media in the Assembly in Las Rozas, due to space issues, the Villalonga room and cafeteria as well as gym-bound classes for media work“.
Rubiales miscalculated and arranged a meeting that would eventually become his tomb. Thus, five years of scandals, rudeness, reactionism and arrogance in an extraordinary sports administration came to an end. (Conquest of the Nations League and the Women’s World Cup), but their form has lost it. Rubiales is leaving and it’s good that he’s gone. And she said she was doing it “for her daughters”, begging Jenni Hermoso to appear in the apology video that no one believed.
