Jorge Vilda, the former coach of Spain women’s soccer team, told a judge on Wednesday that ex-soccer federation president Luis Rubiales did not ask him to put pressure on Jenni Hermoso following the outcry that erupted after Rubiales kissed the player.
Hermoso has already testified at Rubiales’ trial that she did not consent to being kissed by him in the presentation ceremony after Spain won the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
