Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales has sensationally resigned in a bombshell tell-all interview with Piers Morgan.
The suspended soccer boss on Monday morning give up his place within the wake of the explosive World Cup kiss scandal the place he kissed Spanish star Jenni Hermoso following the nation’s World Cup win.
“I’m going to (resign), yes, because I cannot continue my work,” Rubiales stated on Morgan’s “Uncensored” speak present.
Rubiales final week launched a unprecedented assault in his first public assertion following his fiery defensive speech by which he refused to resign.
“During all this time I have suffered an unprecedented lynching by news outlets and politicians that has completely marginalised me. Not just in Spain but internationally,” Rubiales stated in his assertion printed on X, previously generally known as Twitter.
The soccer official continues to argue the kiss was consensual, additionally insisted he was “advancing the feminist cause” and claimed his case could be vital for “real victims of aggression”.
“I have been deliberately sidelined. But I have presented all the relevant images that show the facts. That evidence will ignore opinions and clear my name,” he stated.
“I want to send a message to all the good people in our country and beyond our borders, including those women who have really been attacked and who have my full support and understanding: this is not about gender, it is about truth.”
