Spain women’s soccer coach fired amid unwanted World Cup kiss fallout

Article here. Near as I can tell they simply want to replace this man with a woman. That's all it looks like. Excerpt:

'Jorge Vilda has been sacked from his role as head coach of the Spanish women’s soccer team amid the ongoing fallout over the unwanted kiss that soccer chief Luis Rubiales gave a player at the Women’s World Cup final.

The move comes as part of a major shake-up in Spanish soccer ever since Rubiales, the president of the country’s soccer federation (RFEF), forcibly kissed forward Jennifer Hermoso on August 20.

Rubiales has apologized for his actions and described the kiss as “mutual” – a claim Hermoso denied, saying she was not respected. He has been handed a 90-day suspension by FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, while disciplinary proceedings are underway.

In a statement announcing Vilda’s sacking, RFEF said he was “key to the notable growth of women’s football and leaves Spain as world champions and second in the FIFA rankings.”
...
RFEF later announced Vilda would be replaced by his deputy, Montse Tomé. She will be the first woman in charge of the women’s national team and her debut match will come on September 22 against Sweden.'
