The Italian faces another big coaching profile, Celta Vigo’s Rafael Benitez, in Friday’s league match in Vigo. Ahead of the match, they are asked about the incident when the Spanish national team’s Luis Rubiales kissed Jennifer Hermoso on the mouth after the World Cup final victory over England on Sunday.
Benitez agrees with Ancelotti about the inappropriate behavior of Rubiales.
— We all agree that we witnessed improper behavior. The competent decision-makers are allowed to make decisions, says the Spaniard.
Hermoso and the players’ union Futpro want action taken against the chairman and the Spanish women’s league Liga F is demanding Rubiale’s resignation.
Even Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez believes that an apology from Rubiales is not sufficient.
Spain’s football federation has called for a crisis meeting on Friday.
