“I condemn without palliative means any macho attitude, far from an advanced and developed society,” the coach said in a statement.
Jorge Vilda, Spain’s women’s football coach, lamented what he deemed “improper behaviour” by the President of the Spanish Federation, Luis Rubiales, after the World Cup final won by La Roja last Sunday.
In addition, Vilda lamented the fact that she marred the team’s greatest success in its history by winning the title against England by a goal to nil thanks to Olga Carmona’s goal.
“I deeply regret that the victory of Spanish women’s football has been damaged by the inappropriate behavior carried out so far by our top leader, Luis Rubiales, which he himself has acknowledged,” the coach said in a statement to Agencia EFE. .
RUBIALES, COLLECTOR OF SCANDALS
STATEMENT BY JORGE VILDA
“The events that have taken place since Spain won the Women’s World Cup for the first time in its history, and to this day, have been real nonsense and have led to an unprecedented situation, bringing a deserved victory to our players and our country. is affected.
I deeply regret that the victory of Spanish women’s football has been damaged by the inappropriate behavior committed to date by our top manager, Luis Rubiales, which he himself has recognized.
There is no doubt that it is unacceptable and does not at all reflect the principles and values that I defend in my life, in sport in general and in football in particular.
I condemn without palliative means any macho attitude, far from an advanced and developed society.
A clearly undesirable climate has emerged, far from what should have been a great celebration of Spanish sport and women’s sport.
To this end, I have transferred the contents of these statements to the current president of the RFEF and to its maximum leader Luis Rubiales to date.
My work as a coach of the women’s national team and sports director of the women’s teams has always focused on achieving sporting success, but also on promoting initiatives that promote inclusiveness, respect and equality.
The achievement of the Women’s World Championship and the successes achieved in the lower categories are a reflection of the work done by the Federation, which unquestioningly supports women’s sport. I reiterate my unwavering commitment to promoting a sport that is a model of equality and respect in our society.”
