Rubiales says he will resign as Spanish football federation chief
LONDON - Luis Rubiales is to resign as president of the Spanish football federation following the controversy over him kissing Jenni Hermoso, reported German Press Agency (DPA) quoting Rubiales when he told British journalist Piers Morgan on Sunday.
Rubiales kissed the midfielder on the lips during the trophy presentation following Spain's victory over England in last month's World Cup final, but Hermoso said the kiss was not consensual.
FIFA suspended Rubiales pending an investigation into his behaviour, and Hermoso submitted a complaint to the national prosecutor's office on Wednesday which is now with Spain's high court.
In the interview with Morgan, Rubiales said: "About my resignation - yes, I am going to do (it). Of course, I cannot continue my work." - BERNAMA-dpa
