Spanish Football Federation President Stands Firm After Controversial Kiss Incident: ‘I Will Not Resign (Watch)
Luis Rubiales, the President of the Spanish Football Federation, is standing firm in his position despite facing calls for his resignation after an incident involving a forced kiss with Jenni Hermoso following the World Cup final.
During a Spanish FA meeting, Rubiales vehemently declared his refusal to step down and labeled the kiss as “mutual and consensual,” describing it as more of a “peck” than a kiss.
Rubiales asserted that it was Hermoso who initiated the kiss, and in a public move, extended a new four-year contract worth €2 million to women’s coach Jorge Vilda.
