Spain’s women national team Jorge Vilda will be investigated by the football association after video emerged, showing him touching a female assistant’s chest during the celebration of the only goal in the final against England.

Que tampoco pase desapercibido esto de Jorge Vilda.

The incident comes after the huge scandal, caused by the president of Spain’s football federation, who kissed a player n her lips without consent during the award ceremony.

In the video Vilda turns to celebrate the goal with three of his assistants – two males and one female – and as he turns away to look back onto the pitch his hand appears to make contact with the female chest.

The incident adds another black dot to one remarkable success the country has had and has increased the tension in its inner circles.

Vilda led Spain to victory less than a year after 15 players said they were renouncing the team unless major changes were made by its coach to improve the team’s performance and its results. No accusations of improper conduct have been known to be made against Vilda.
