Luis Rubiales resigned this Sunday as president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation after the scandal over the player’s kiss without consent Jenni Hermoso and in the middle of the suspension determined by FIFA to investigate the case.
«Today I have transmitted my resignation from the position of President of the RFEF. I have also reported that I have done the same with my position at UEFA so that my position in the Vice Presidency can be replaced,” Rubiales said in a statement posted on his social networks.
And he added: «After the swift suspension carried out by FIFA, plus the rest of the procedures opened against me, It is evident that I will not be able to return to my position. Insisting on waiting and clinging to it is not going to contribute anything positive, neither to the Federation nor to Spanish football. Among other things, because “There are de facto powers that will prevent my return.”
«There is the management of my team and, above all, the happiness that I have for the enormous privilege of these more than 5 years at the head of the RFEF. I don’t want Spanish football to be harmed by this entire disproportionate campaign. and, above all, I make this decision after having made sure that my departure will contribute to the stability that will allow both Europe and Africa to remain united in the dream of 2030, which will allow us to bring the largest event in the world to our country,” he continued. the leader

Along these lines, he added: «I must look forward, look to the future. Now there is something that occupies me firmly. I have faith in the truth and I will do everything in my power to make it prevail. “My daughters, my family and the people who love me have suffered the effects of excessive persecution, as well as many falsehoods, but it is also true that on the street, more and more every day, the truth is prevailing.”
«From here I convey to all the workers, assembly members, federations and football people in general, a big hug, wishing them the best of luck. Thank you to everyone who has supported me during these times«, closed Rubiales.
