Spain men's coach Luis de la Fuente said on Monday, Sept. 11, he "respects" former football federation president Luis Rubiales' decision to resign after causing outrage by kissing a Women's World Cup player on the lips.
The incident provoked unprecedented uproar and Rubiales was provisionally suspended by FIFA for 90 days, while a judge at the country's top criminal court opened an investigation into Rubiales earlier Monday. The coach, 62, did not want to talk about the Rubiales scandal, which he too was criticized for after applauding the former federation president during a fiery defensive speech in which he pledged not to resign.
