Spain boss appears to grab boob of female coach during Women’s World Cup final
Controversial Spain manager Jorge Vilda appeared to grab the boob of one of his coaches during the Women's World Cup final against England.
Vilda led his nation to glory on Sunday (August 20) with Olga Carmona's goal enough to down Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses. That's despite an ongoing feud between him and the squad.
As many as 15 players refused to play under him again last September, claiming his regime was "damaging their mental health". But Spain's football federation backed him.
Only three of those 15 ended up in their World Cup squad, but there still appeared to be a divide between those who did go and Vilda, notably in their post-match celebrations.

Another moment from the final has since emerged, with the 42-year-old being caught with his left hand on the chest of assistant Montserrat Tome, 41, as they celebrated Carmona giving them the lead.
It's not a good look for Vilda, who was accused of telling his players they couldn't lock their hotel room doors until midnight so he could carry out checks for the first four years of his tenure, which began in 2015.
He was also said to have routinely inspected the contents of their bags. Players tried to voice their concerns after being dumped out of last summer’s Euros by England.
However, they felt they weren't addressed adequately by Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales – who himself has come in for heavy criticism for his behaviour at the final.
Rubiales, 45, was seen kissing striker Jenni Hermoso, 33, on the lips as the victorious Spaniards were presented with their medals. The uncomfortable situation left Hermoso admitting: "Eh…yeah, I did not enjoy that."
And he was also spotted grabbing his crotch in an obscene gesture while stood next to Queen Letizia and her 16-year-old daughter Sofia.
