Spain’s World Cup-winning coach Jorge Vilda has been sacked by the Spanish football federation according to several Spanish media outlets on Tuesday.

Vilda guided Spain to their first ever Women's World Cup last month.

In addition, the Spanish football federation has apologised for the "enormous damage" caused by the actions of its suspended president Luis Rubiales.

The 46-year-old has been provisionally barred from all football activity for an initial 90 days by FIFA while it investigates his conduct at last month's Women's World Cup final in Sydney.

Rubiales kissed Spain midfielder Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the trophy presentation, something Hermoso has said she did not consent to. However, Rubiales has refused to resign over the matter.
