The Royal Spanish Football Federation (Rfef) has been handed a resignation today but not the one they were expecting. It was widely expected that Luis Rubiales, the Spanish FA president, would announce his resignation in a press conference earlier this morning after questions into his conduct reached a fever pitch.
Instead, Rubiales cried ‘I am not resigning!’ five times during a chaotic press conference that saw him double down on his position saying he would fight to clear his name in court and calling out the “false feminism” trying to bring him down.
