    Spain women's national football team manager Jorge Vilda has been sacked just weeks after he led them to World Cup glory.<\/p>\n

    Pedro Rocha, the interim president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation during the suspension of Luis Rubiales, has led the decision to dismiss Vilda despite him only recently being offered a contract extension worth \u00a3429,000 a year by Rubiales.<\/p>\n

    The president was suspended following his infamous kiss on the lips of Jenni Hermoso after their 1-0 win over England in Sydney, having been the biggest supporter of Vilda.<\/p>\n

    Vilda spent five years working with Spain women's youth sides before stepping into the senior role back in 2015 and spending eight years in the role.<\/p>\n

    The 42-year-old had turned his back and offered a statement hitting out at Rubiales a matter of days before his sacking, having stopped short of calling for his colleague to leave.<\/p>\n

    Vilda was at the centre of a despite with Spanish players back in 2022 as 15 players boycotted the national side.<\/p>\n

    They expressed concerns at his coaching style following a poor Euro 2022, as well as his treatment of players.<\/p>\n

    The Federation supported the manager at the time and did not call up those players with only three returning to compete in the World Cup.<\/p>\n
