Jorge Vilda has broken his silence this Tuesday after being fired by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) as women’s football coach, which has considered that “he has been unjustly dismissed”. The already dismissed coach made these statements in an interview on ‘El Larguero’, a Cadena Ser programme.
When asked about his condition, he assured that he is “as good as you can be after being world champions and being renewed and today being unjustly dismissed”. “In sports, I’m going to accept all the criticism, but personally I think so” that it has been unfair, he has sentenced. “I saw myself with strength and the desire to play a Nations League for the first time, being in the Olympic Games motivated me a lot…”, he acknowledged, who pointed out that he did not know that he was going to be dismissed in the meeting that he had this Tuesday.
Jorge Vilda has recounted that he had “a brief meeting with” the interim president of the RFEF, Pedro Rocha, and with the vice president of Equality. “The reason they have given me is that it is due to structural changes… I have a clear conscience. I did not understand my dismissal and I did not see it as deserved. I did not expect it. In the end you always have the illusion”, he added.
On whether he has been contacted by a player from the women’s team, he has assured that “he has more than 500 messages” and he has not “been able to review it.” Likewise, he has not had contact with Jenni Hermoso, whom he assures that he has supported and that he has a good relationship with her. On the other hand, regarding his applause for Luis Rubiales, he has pointed out that he could not be the only one who did not applaud when everyone else did, especially because of the praise he has received from him. . In addition, he has expressed that he has not agreed with his statements.
As for his substitute, he has confirmed that “I have congratulated her”. “Montse Tomé has the capacity to do it very well. I chose her for the coaching staff just like the rest of the staff. I think the greatest legacy I can leave in the national team is the style of play that is recognizable throughout the world and the methodology I know that she is prepared and she is going to do well”, he asserted.
