From Morning Report, 7:14 am on 6 September 2023

The head coach of the Spanish women's football team has been sacked. Just last month, Jorge Vilda led Spain to victory in the FIFA World Cup, beating England 1-0 in the final.

But he faced criticism after he applauded a speech by Spanish football federation president, Luis Rubiales, who refused to resign after kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the lips in the aftermath of the final.

Spanish Football editor Ruairidh Barlow spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
