The coach of the Spanish Men’s Football team has today come under fire for a disgraceful act after the full time whistle in this morning’s game.
Coach Luis de la Fuente has been accused of assaulting star Spanish forward Alvaro Morata, shortly after Spain’s victory in the Euro 2024 Semi-Final.
Fresh off the back of bundling a disappointing France out of the tournament and securing their ticket to a final, de la Fuente was seen planting a kiss on the lips of striker Morata.
The move has been slammed online, with de la Fuente yet to comment on the incident.
The disgusting move which belittled and demeaned a human being in their workplace could have serious consequences now that a high profile male sports star has been allegedly assaulted.
De la Fuente’s controversial kiss follows the alleged assault of Spanish footballer Jenni Hermoso last year after her team’s triumph in the World Cup.
In spite of being lead by a coach the entire team hated and had made multiple allegations of poor treatment against, Hermoso lifted the trophy, only to be allegedly assaulted by the boss of the Spanish Football association Luis Rubiales.
With fans horrified by the nonconsensual kiss in what should have been one of the greatest moments of Hermoso’s life, the Spanish Football Federation immediately went into damage control mode.
Hermoso and her family were hounded by the Spanish FA to come out and say everything was fine, in a very clearly not fine situation, with the organisation hoping to just sweep the appalling behaviour under the rug.
Current men’s coach Luis de la Fuente famously applauded Rubiales’ speech attacking the criticism of him as a “social assassination”, something which now makes sense given de le Fuente likes to kiss his own players on the lips.
Morata has yet to comment on the issue, and is also battling a knee injury after being bopped by a security guard trying to control a pitch invader.
More to come.
