Luis Rubiales Kiss Controversy: Embattled coach steps down as Spain's football federation head

Luis Rubiales, the under fire football Chief, has finally resigned as the head of Spain’s football federation almost a month after he grabbed and kissed the midfielder Jenni Hermoso during the celebrations of the country’s victory in the Women’s World Cup, sparking fury, and a national and international debate on sexism.

Rubiales had initially attempted to brush off the controversy over the unsolicited kiss after the team’s 1-0 victory over England in Sydney.

He had dismissed critics of his actions as “idiots and Stupid people” as the incident provoked global outrage, led to his being provisionally suspended by FIFA, and prompted Hermoso to make a criminal complaint accusing him of Sexual assault.
