Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales has refused to step down as president of the Spanish football federation after he kissed a player, Jenni Hermoso on the lips at the Women’s World Cup final.
“I will not resign, I will not resign, I will not resign,” shouted Rubiales at an emergency meeting of the football federation.
“A consensual ‘peck’ is enough to get me out of here? I will fight until the end,” he added.
But the kiss was just “the tip of an iceberg,” says La Liga journalist Semra Hunter. “It’s not an isolated incident when it comes to him.”
Rubiales, 46, was expected to step down as president of the Spanish football federation (RFEF) after government ministers and figures within sport demanded his resignation and world football governing body FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against him.
