The good thing is that we don’t have to hear about how ‘good’ the actual football was.

Well Rubiales uncle doesn't mess about.

“I think he needs a social re-education programme and a re-education in his relationship with women.”

Probably not the only one going off this thread.

Coming from a family member, that's a rather large.....ouch.

They got him in the end although I'm not sure what for.

No me neither.

Sacked or not had his contract renewed.

It's an absolute st show - the players wanted him out, the Spanish FA removed those players from the squad and he still won the whole thing. He should be getting a medal not a sacking.

I suppose that's one way of looking at it.

What is the other way - as far as I can see his worst crime was clapping the President; is that what he was sacked for or was he on borrowed time from the year before?

So did the men's coach and he hasn't been sacked, so we have to assume they are using another justifiable reason otherwise I would expect a large lawsuit in their future.

There was very clearly a toxic atmosphere in that camp which makes it all the more amazing that they managed to win the thing. It's no real surprise that he has gone with his chief protector sidelined.

I'm sure you already know the manager has more than a little influence in that. That he/they did it with a load of players unavailable due to being ineligible speaks volumes.

Good to know we have a dressing-room insider on the thread.

Both statements are fact. It might be worth you reading up on the last couple of years of the Spanish team (it's everywhere in the news) then have a look at what a team looks like with a poor manager.

If you didn't write things like 'He won the whole world cup' we wouldn't have to debate how good or otherwise he was or why 15 players refused to play for him and the whole team won't play while his mate's around. Or why the whole coaching staff other than him resigned.
Maybe the players will come out with a statement saying what a great coach he is.

He did win the whole thing - as a manager, managing a depleted squad. You've yet to explain why he should have resigned; to support a revolution at his own detriment? Unless he was in some way misogynistic or abusive, and that hasn't come out, then the players need to accept his management style while it gleans results (like the World Cup). That, or detail what he actually did wrong.
To be honest, he's best off out of it - it all seems very cut-throat currently.
