Rubiales in a statement on Sunday said he has submitted his resignation to federation acting president Pedro Rocha.

“After the quick suspension carried out by FIFA, plus the rest of open proceedings against me, it is evident that I will not be able to return to my position”, he said on Piers Morgan Uncensored.

He added, “Insisting on waiting and holding on is not going to contribute to anything positive, neither to the federation nor to Spanish football.”

Rubiales was caught on camera k*ssing Jenni Hermoso after Spain beat England 1-0 in the final in Australia and immediately faced calls to be removed from his post.
