“I announce that this week I will end my relationship with the Royal Spanish Football Federation. It has been a difficult decision, tremendously complex.

The arrival in Las Rozas of the architect of the best Barcelona was interpreted as a turning point, a breath of fresh air, after the previous months so complicated that had been lived in the federation headquarters after the kiss of the former president Luis Rubiales to Jenni Hermoso, which was the culmination of a crisis that had erupted almost a year earlier when 15 players sent an email asking not to be selected due to their distance from the methodology of the former coach Jorge Vilda.
