Luis Rubiales, the president of the Spanish Football Federation, has resigned amidst intense criticism for forcibly kissing Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the Women’s World Cup victory ceremony. Rubiales, already suspended and facing legal action, acknowledged he couldn’t continue in his role. He cited advice from family and friends to preserve his dignity and spare loved ones from further harm. The incident led to a global backlash, with FIFA suspending him for 90 days, and Rubiales facing a lawsuit for alleged sexual assault and coercion following Hermoso’s formal complaint.
