Luis Rubiales Steps Down as Spanish Soccer President Following Controversial World Cup Kiss

Luis Rubiales, the president of the Spanish soccer federation, has resigned following the controversy surrounding his kiss with player Jenni Hermoso after Spain's World Cup victory. Rubiales, who was already serving a 90-day suspension by FIFA, made the announcement during an interview and later submitted a letter of resignation. The decision came after calls for his resignation from the Spanish federation and the women's team, as well as a formal complaint of sexual assault and coercion filed against him. Rubiales claimed the kiss was consensual but acknowledged that he could not return to his position due to ongoing proceedings against him.
