Spanish Football Federation: Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has announced that Jorge Vilda has been dismissed as the coach of the Spanish Women's Football team, with Montse Tome taking over the role.

Tome, who served as Vilda's assistant since 2018, will lead the team in the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Sweden and Switzerland on September 22 and 26, respectively, Xinhua reports.

Vilda had held his position since 2015. However, his tenure was marred by controversy when, in September 2022, 15 members of the women's squad declined to play for Spain under his leadership.
