    Well, I guess so... Basically, he's paid to do nothing, except insulting players... La vida cómoda.

    I guess the girls should look for some political support and to spread info about their situation in the society. After all, gender equality is a typically political theme and it's not neutral.

    Also, without a strong support by the public opinion, I am afraid they will keep bouncing against the wall of their sexist and self-referential federation, where they apparently can get no back-up by anybody.

    I think the quote "Who acts like a real woman and gets me some coffee?" says it all.

    Leading up to the WWC, this information was given about Spain's coach: He didn't know there was women's football in Spain until he was offered the coaching position. That tells you all you need to know about Spain's federation and their coach in terms of support for women's football.

    The problem goes way beyond Quereda. It starts up at the top, Villar, and the general gender culture in Spain.

    What inspired this complaint?

    Some things had gone very wrong because [the players] were more concerned that the manager not scream at them, that he not tell them they were fat ... it depended on how you approached him.

    It bothered them that he told them they were fat?

    You see, there were players who were a bit overweight, but there are many ways to say it. These things have to be said with some delicacy.

    Vicente Temprado resigned from his position yesterday. It seems Quereda is going to quit too unless Villar rejects his resignation and apply for another job in RFEF, but before doing it he wants to defend himself. RFEF will meet the players next Thursday.

    By the way, the dog in the cartoon is actually Villar's dog :ROFLMAO: When Villar goes on a trip he asks Quereda to take care of his dog, and he has taken it to several get-togethers. Source: http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2015/06/26/seleccion/1435283657_369210.html

    The coach next to Quereda is Jorge Vilda, who might become his successor. He has won two U17 Euros and a 2nd (2014) and 3rd place (2010) in the U17 World Cup.

    Vilda also impressively took their U19's to the final last year.

    The interesting thing about the Spanish system is their support teams travel around with all teams. They go from tournament to tournament regardless of age/gender. The staff at the women's U19 last summer had come right from Brazil with the men.

    I closely followed U-17 WWC last year, when Spain only lost to Japan (both at group stage and in the final). I much appreciated Jorge Vilda's work and (although I could be wrong, because it was just an impression), by looking at him and hearing what she was saying in interviews, I had the feeling that he was a cool guy, that he was getting along well with the girls and especially that he was respecting them as much as the opponents.

    You surely know the situation better than us, Patchouli: what do you think, the impression I had about Vilda during last year u-17 WWC in Costa Rica was right or wrong? :cautious:

    Any update on this? Fox didn't deem this worthy to cover in its nightly "Fox World Cup Tonight" program.

    (That says that Del Rio has been awarded the Bronze Medal for Sport, and the link says that Vero has as well, among several dozen other Spanish athletes)

    Very happy with how things turned out. :cool: Basically, Federation had to give the girls' Quereda's head, finally.

    I hope Vilda will confirm being the cool guy I thing he is: anyway, a new era for Spanish women's football has begun.

    I've seen quotes from several Spanish players, including Boquete, saying they have a high opinion of Vilda.

    As I said above, I had a very good impression of him when he was interviewed by FIFA-TV at U-17 WWC, last year: he looked serious and prepared, but not conceited at all and he seemed to have a strong leadership as well as a nice relationship with the girls on the team... What you just said about Spanish players' reactions nothing but confirms the impression I had got. :thumbsup:

    Yes, I like the way he interact with his players during the game and after no matter if it's a victory or defeat, you could clearly see he has a great relation with them. So happy for the Spaniard who imo are serious contenders for the next EURO , they did what France should have done with Bini long time ago...but our players (Bompastor aside) lacked the courage to do it.

    Congratulations to the Spanish WNT. I am sure they will go on to do great things with a decent coach.
