Earlier today FIFA stepped in to impose suspension form all football activity for Rubiales and that has led to many senior figures to call it a day.
Assistant managers Montse Tome, Javier Lerga and Eugenio Gonzalo Martin, along with physio Blanca Romero Moraleda and goalkeeping coach Carlos Sanchez, have all quit.
They released a statement, which read: “Those named below express their firm and resounding condemnation of the conduct shown by the RFEF president.
“He offered a story that does not reflect in any way what was felt by Jenni Hermoso, who has expressly stated that she felt she was the ‘victim of aggression’.
“Given the unacceptable attitudes and statements made by the president, they have made the decision to relieve themselves of their duties.”
