The head coach of Spain's men's team asks for 'forgiveness' after applauding the speech in which Luis Rubiales said he would not resign for kissing player Jenni Hermoso.
In a speech last Friday, Rubiales - who has since beenDe La Fuente and women's head coach Jorge Vilda were among those pictured applauding the speech, although both later released statements condemning Rubiales' behaviour.
"I have not felt betrayed by Luis Rubiales, but I arrived thinking that it was going to be a resignation meeting and we were shocked when we saw that it was not this way. "I am on the side of equality and respect. We all have to improve in terms of equality and I am the first."Spanish prosecutors opened a preliminary investigation into whether the incident amounts to a crime of sexual assault.
Speaking prior to announcing his squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers, De La Fuente said he did not fear losing the respect of his players.
