The extraordinary assembly that he seemed to have called to receive support and reaffirm his position will probably be the closure of the controversial stage of Luis Rubiales as president of the RFEF, since this Thursday he has informed his entourage that he will present his resignation and as he has learned Es Radio the president is considered disabled as of Monday and will present his resignation before the Assembly.
An assembly that everyone took for granted had been organized to reinforce Rubiales, but from which more and more groups were being erased every day and could end in just the opposite: the demonstration that the still president had run out of support. Also, the file opened by FIFA He has ended up putting the president on the ropes. The pressure, both social and sporting, has forced Rubiales to take a direction that he did not contemplate.
From the President’s environment they hoped to turn the whole situation around and avoid resignation. Now everything points to his mandate will come to an end tomorrow at the latest. The RFEF will start a new stage and it remains to be seen who will be his replacementbut the two names that sound to do it are: Pedro Rochapresident of the Extremaduran federation, and Pablo Lozanopresident of the Andalusian federation.
The problems have grown
The controversy unleashed by the kiss to Jennifer Hermoso in the celebration of the triumph of the women’s soccer team after their triumph in the World Cup final has not stopped growing during the week: the matter has become a political issue, with harsh criticism from the feminist left and the Government, and threatened to have serious legal consequences: three complaints have been filed with the Higher Sports Council and even FIFA has opened a disciplinary file.

On the other hand, Rubiales himself seemed to trust that Jenni Hermoso would take some of the iron out of the situation, but after a few days of striking silence, the soccer player reacted by asking for measures against the manager.
What happened in the World Cup final has been the last scandal, at least for now, of a residence that has been frankly rich in problems, complex situations and even serious suspicions of corruption.
In addition to his own scandals, Rubiales has been highly questioned for his reaction, or rather for the absolute lack of reaction, to the Negreira case, without a doubt the worst case of sports corruption in the history of Spanish sports.
