In office since November 2020, Frenchman Reynald Pedros is no longer the coach of the Moroccan women’s football team. To succeed him on the bench, Jorge Vilda was chosen. The same one who, a few weeks after the world champion title with La Roja, was fired on the sidelines of the Rubiales affair.
It’s a signature that risks causing a reaction. This Thursday, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation announced, in an official press release, having hired Spanish coach Jorge Vilda to become the new coach of the women’s national team. The latter, world champion with the Spanish this summer, succeeds the Frenchman Reynald Pedros, in post since November 2020. According to the Spanish media, Vilda would have signed a contract to take Morocco to the 2027 World Cup and should be presented this Sunday.
More than a month after her dismissal, Vilda is already bouncing back
Dismissed on September 5 by the Spanish Federation following the Rubiales affair, the Madrid coach is therefore already back in business. As a reminder, he was the protagonist of the conflict with the Spanish players in September 2022. Fifteen of them had decided to withdraw from the selection, believing that the 42-year-old man displayed “dictatorial” control. sometimes unhealthy within the group. The coach allegedly forced the players to leave the doors to their rooms open until midnight to check that they were all present, before closing them himself. Jorge Vilda would also keep an eye on the food purchased by the players, checking the contents of the bags himself.
Last Tuesday, Vilda and the marketing director of the Spanish Football Federation, Rubén Rivera, denied before the judge in charge of the investigation into the former president of the RFEF that they had pressured footballer Jenni Hermoso to say that she consented to the kiss that Luis Rubiales had given her.
