pAnd the team#8217;s backroom coaches have now departed in protest at a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23655021/luis-rubiales-leaves-spanish-fa-kissing-hermoso-world-cup/Rubiales#8217; refusal to stand down from his position/a, leaving Vilda as the sole remaining member of staff./p
pAssistants Montse Tome, Javier Lerga and Eugenio Gonzalo Martin, physio Blanca Romero Moraleda and goalkeeper coach Carlos Sanchez have left their positions immediately./p
pIt means manager Vilda is the only person left standing from last weekend#8217;s World Cup win./p
pAnd he himself is still at the a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23532922/spain-womens-world-cup-mutiny-vilda/heart of an ugly feud with numerous players./a/p
pIt#8217;s believed Spain#8217;s coaches were particularly angry at being made to attend Rubiales#8217; defensive press conference yesterday, with their decision coming in the wake of the a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23661466/spain-world-cup-demand-disgraced-luis-rubiales-sacked-kiss/players refusing to turn out/a for September#8217;s upcoming friendlies./p
pRubiales sensationally refused to quit his role as Spain FA chief, although a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23639415/fifa-spanish-fa-president-rubiales-womens-kissed/Fifa have since opened disciplinary proceedings/a against him./p
pAnd he claimed #8220;false feminism#8221; was driving a witch hunt against him./p

pHe said: #8220;I want to thank everyone who has shown me their support./p
p#8220;There are many people who, although silenced, have supported me. I would say more than against it.#8221;/p
pHermoso insists she did not give her consent to the kiss, which was captured on live TV after Spain beat England 1-0 in the Sydney final./p
pIn the meantime, Spanish officials were a href=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23666775/football-match-spanish-fa-luis-rubiales-security-fears/forced to call off a friendly game/a which Rubiales was set to play in./p
pSeveral feminist organisations announced plans to protest it./p
pAnd town hall officials made the decision to suspend it, with a statement reading: “Given the possibility acts may take place that could lead to public order infringements, the match organised by Motril Football Club that was due to take place this afternoon in the Escribano Castilla Municipal Stadium has been suspended.”/p
