RFEF sack general secretary Andreu Camps, Luis Rubiales' right-hand man
The decision comes as part of the wholesale changes being carried out by the Federation
Andreu Camps, Luis Rubiales' right-hand man, is no longer the secretary general of the RFEF. This has been announced by the Federation in a statement on Wednesday in which they explained Camps already knows the decision of the interim president of the Federation, Pedro Rocha, to dismiss him from his duties. Camps' dismissal was one of the players' requests. It is the first departure demanded at the moment.
It is a step closer to the requests of the players of the world-champion women's national team. The decision comes after last night's seven-hour night meeting which ended with 21 of the 23 players called up deciding to stay. Patri Guijarro and Mapi León have already left.
The meeting held until the early hours of Wednesday morning by the Spanish national team players, the RFEF and the Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD), resulted in a commitment to "immediate changes" from the RFEF in its treatment of women's football and the creation of a tripartite commission to monitor the decisions taken. At the moment, it seems that these changes are already underway.
