MOSCOW, February 8, Alexander Govorov. The career of former President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Luis Rubiales is over for good, said Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Secretary General Theodore Theodoridis.
During the award ceremony for the winners of the World Cup, which took place in Australia and New Zealand, on August 20, Rubiales hugged and kissed national team player Jennifer Hermoso on the lips. In September, the Spanish National Court opened criminal proceedings against Rubiales, who resigned as president of the RFEF. The International Football Federation (FIFA) suspended him from football activities for three years.
«There is no future for Rubiales in football, his career is over forever. We wanted to do this publicly,» Theodoridis said at a press conference following the UEFA Congress, which was held in Paris.
