Coach Jorge Vilda of the kissgate scandal gets signed for Morocco’s women’s team
It has been officially announced by Jorge Vilda, the former coach of Spain’s champion women’s team, that he has taken up a new job at Morocco’s FA.
The global community watched the champion coach get controversially sacked following the stunning kiss his FA president, Luis Rubiales, gave a female player during the prize-giving ceremony of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
After the millions of social media backlashes that landed on the FA president, Jorge Vilda came under fire too for seeming to support the president in the aftermath.
Luis Rubiales, who later did the opposite, had vowed he would never resign, and Jorge Vilda had clapped for him in support of the statement. When Jorge Vilda was found clapping for the president, who then resembled the image of a man who did not respect women, his own case was exhumed from where Luis Rubiales buried it not very long ago.
A letter had been submitted by a good number of the female footballers to ask for the sack of the coach just before the World Cup victory.
The reasons they gave did not border on inappropriate behaviours on his part or lack of honour towards women; it was something about his method of choosing players. Though the matter was not revealed further, many think his way of coaching was why Spain’s women were able to win the competition.
Among the changes the new Spain’s FA president carried out in favour of the women’s team was the sacking of the coach.
Jorge Vilda is the first coach to lead Spain’s women’s team to a World Cup victory, and Luis Rubiales was the first Spain’s FA president to make that happen through his input as the main helmsman. Many think it is unfortunate that instead of enjoying the victory, both men were thrown out of the FA. Luis Rubiales was not sacked, but it was clear he wanted no more.
