Mateu Lahoz is the most likely person to succeed Luis Rubiales as RFEF president, following the latter’s resignation after kissing a player against her will.
Rubiales drew international condemnation for kissing Jenni Hermoso, one of Spain’s FIFA Women’s World Cup winning players, on the lips without her consent.
Now, the Spanish federation is looking to move on from that scandal and appoint a new president. And the Spanish media says Lahoz, a former referee, is the best positioned.
The clubs, the referee, the league, and FIFA all seem to be in tune, according to Diario MARCA, and see Lahoz as the consensus choice.
