Vilda’s dismissal comes less than three weeks after Spain won the Women’s World Cup for the first time in the squad’s history.
However, it was the celebration from Rubiales afterward that has drawn global attention and sparked national outrage. Rubiales received a 90-day suspension from FIFA after he kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips and was seen in the crowd celebrating the win with a crotch grab.
Rubiales declined to resign from his post as he faced calls to step down. Instead, he was banned and is facing a Spanish government case against him.
