Jorge Vilda is all over the news week after he was caught on camera with his hand in the wrong place.
Footage has emerged of Spanish coach Jorge Vilda appearing to touch a female staffer on the breast as his team celebrated what was the winning goal of the Women’s World Cup Final. Footage of the moment seems to capture Vilda embracing those around him as the goal is scored.
Spain won the 2023 Women’s World Cup with a 1-0 win over England.
Although the world feed cuts away, other footage shows Vilda’s hand go from a female staffer’s shoulder to her breast while he looks toward the field. His other hand was touching a male assistant.
The incident comes amid a national uproar against the president of the Spanish soccer federation after he kissed a player on the lips without her consent, which came during the award ceremony after the 1-0 victory over England in Sydney, Australia.
There is growing pressure for him to step down in the wake of his actions.

It’s unknown if the contact by Vilda was intentional, but many on social media are outraged considering what just happened with Spanish soccer federation President Luis Rubiales.
Vilda led Spain to victory less than a year after 15 players said they were renouncing the team unless major changes were made by its coach to improve the team’s performance and its results. No accusations of improper conduct have been known to be made against Vilda.
