Luis Rubiales has resigned as President of the Royal Spanish Football Federation following the scandal over him kissing Spain’s Jenni Hermoso at the Women’s World Cup Final.
Hermoso, 33, said the kiss after Spain beat England was not consensual and she filed a legal complaint last Tuesday.
But Rubiales has continued to insist that the kiss was consensual and that he did not wrong despite worldwide criticism over his action.
He resigned on Sunday after several weeks of call for him to step aside.
The Federation of International Football Association (FIFA), had also suspended Rubiales for 90 days to pave way for investigation over his action.
Rubiales said he had submitted his resignation to federation acting president Pedro Rocha in a statement.
“I cannot continue my work,” he told Piers Morgan on his television show.
