After the interview came to light, Luis Rubiales published a letter on his social networks announcing that he had submitted his resignation as president of the RFEF and from his position at UEFA as vice-presidency.

“Insisting on waiting and clinging to it is not going to contribute anything positive, neither to the Federation nor to Spanish football. Among other things, because there are de facto powers that will prevent my return. There is the management of my team and, above all, the happiness that I have for the enormous privilege of these more than 5 years at the head of the RFEF,” he wrote.
