<\/p>\nSpain\u2019s Women\u2019s World Cup-winning head coach Jorge Vilda has slammed his \u201cunfair\u201d sacking.<\/p>\n
Vilda was dismissed on Tuesday, just weeks after leading the side to glory in Australia. Pedro Rocha, the interim president of the Spanish Football Federation in place of the disgraced Luis Rubiales, made the decision despite Vilda recently being offered a contract extension by Rubiales.<\/p>\n
The manager was the only member of the women\u2019s national team coaching staff not to resign in protest of Rubiales, who sparked outrage after kissing midfielder Jenni Hermoso on the lips during Spain\u2019s presentation ceremony.<\/p>\n
Vilda was also seen applauding Rubiales at an emergency assembly the latter called on August 25, in which he passionately stated he would not resign despite the controversy.<\/p>\n

With Rubiales suspended, Vilda, whose own coaching methods have in the past caused huge uproar among his squad, was finally axed in the fallout of Spanish football\u2019s latest scandal. <\/p>\n
However, the Spanish Football Federation made no reference to the players\u2019 discontent when announcing Vilda\u2019s exit, instead citing his \u201cprofessionalism and dedication during all these years\u201d.<\/p>\n
Vilda has now told Spanish radio network Cadena SE that his dismissal was \u201cunfair\u201d.<\/p>\n
Do you think Jorge Vilda's sacking was justified? Let us know in the comments section.<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIn sporting terms, I am going to accept all the criticisms, but on a personal level I think it has been unfair.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been a special year. Nothing has ever been said directly, but indirectly things have been said that do not suit me. Things have been said that are not true.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Vilda added: \u201cThe explanation is that there have been \u2018structural changes\u2019. After everything I have achieved, of working hard as just another worker, I have a clear conscience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have given 100% and I don\u2019t understand it \u2013 I didn\u2019t see my dismissal as deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vilda\u2019s comments came after 15 Spain players refused to play under him last year. The players made their concerns about Vilda\u2019s character and training methods clear to none other than Rubiales, who failed to acknowledge their complaints.<\/span><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article30794341.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/2_Spain-v-England-Final-FIFA-Womens-World-Cup-Australia-amp-New-Zealand-2023.jpg\")
