Spanish football federation chief Luis Rubiales, engulfed in a scandal over allegations he gave an unsolicicted kiss to a player on the women’s World Cup team last month, said on Sunday he will resign from his position as president.
Mr. Rubiales announced his resignation in a statement.
A Spanish prosecutor filed a complaint with the High Court against Mr. Rubiales last week for sexual assault and coercion over his allegedly unsolicited kiss on the lips of Jenni Hermoso.
