00:00 All but the chief of Spain's national women's football coaching staff have stepped down
00:05 after the country's Football Federation president, Luis Rubiales, kissed player Jennifer Hermoso
00:10 after her team's victory in the World Cup.
00:12 The eleven staff members called it inappropriate.
00:15 FIFA has suspended Rubiales from all football-related activity for 90 days.
00:19 "We respect, as there is no other way, the decision FIFA has taken.
00:25 We consider it to reinforce the position of the government in terms of the path it has
00:32 taken in relation to the high standards of international football.
00:36 It reinforces and reaffirms that the path the Spanish government has taken yesterday
00:43 afternoon is the right one."
00:45 Rubiales faces inquiries by FIFA and the Spanish Football Federation, but can only be forced
00:50 out by a legal verdict.
00:52 The women's team's head coach, Jochi Wilde, remains in place despite agreeing the kiss
00:56 was wrong.
