The controversy between the Spanish women’s soccer team and Jorge Vilda continues to grow. A few weeks ago, the team communicated to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) a “general malaise” with the coach, alleging sporting reasons. A reason that has not been enough to get him to resign and has led to 15 players resign.
The RFEF refuses to break the contract it has with Jorge Vilda until 2024. Something to which 15 players have responded by sending an email, in which they allege that “it significantly affects their emotional state and their health” and resigning to play in the Spanish National Team.
The response of the Spanish Football Federation
On September 1, the athletes stated in a press conference that “there are certain internal aspects that must be changed. We have to say things so that they change, because we want to improve as a team”, but they affirmed “not to ask for dismissal at any time”.
Be that as it may, the dismissal has not occurred. Something that has led to Andrea Pereira, Ainhoa Vicente Moraza, Aitana Bonmatí, Amaiur Sarriegi, Sandra Paños, Lola Gallardo, Laia Aleixandri, Mapi León, Leila Ouahabi, Ona Battle, Patri Guijarro, Lucía García, Mariona Caldentey, Claudia Pina and Nerea Eizagirre a give up his position in the Spanish team. This is how the RFEF has responded:
“The RFEF is not going to allow the players to question the continuity of the national coach and his coaching staff. It is not going to admit any type of pressure from any player when adopting sports measures. In accordance with the legislation current Spanish, not attending a national team call is classified as a very serious infraction and can carry sanctions of between two and five years of disqualification.The RFEF, contrary to the way these players act, wants to make it clear that they do not It will not take them to this extreme nor will it put pressure on them. Directly, it will not summon the soccer players who do not want to wear the Spain shirt.”
What’s going on here? It is clear that each of these players has worked hard to win the Spain shirt and that they have fought against inequality in the sector to achieve their goals, something that they wouldn’t sacrifice for a senseless tantrum.
In addition, that the athletes allege emotional and health reasons could indicate that there is something more, but until they give public explanations we will not know if everything is due to a methodical disagreement or other compelling reasons.
