Overview

• Montse Tomé learned of her dismissal via a message from her representative rather than through direct communication from the RFEF.
• She accused RFEF president Rafael Louzán of breaking his promise to retain her after Spain’s strong performance at Euro 2025.
• Tomé denied any pressure to include Jenni Hermoso and revealed that she was required to appear at a court hearing to justify her selection decisions.
• She said many players contacted her privately with messages of support despite the absence of public statements from the squad.
• After unanimously deciding not to renew her contract, the federation quickly installed former forward Sonia Bermúdez as the new head coach, raising questions about transparency and her senior-team experience.
