Spain’s women’s national team replaced coach Montse Tome with former player Sonia Bermúdez on Monday.
The RFEF took to social media to announce the appointment.
She will form a duo with another former player, Iraia Iturregi, who has years of experience on the sidelines with 402 matches in the First Division.
The decision was made by the federation’s board members after Tome led Spain to the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 final, which it lost to England in a penalty shootout on July 27.
Tome replaced former coach Jorge Vilda following the team’s FIFA Women’s World Cup title triumph in 2023. She led Spain to the the inaugural Women’s Nations League title in 2024. Her current contract with the national team was valid until the end of the August this year.
Tome was the first woman to coach the senior women’s team in Spain. She had been an assistant to Vilda during the World Cup and was promoted in the fallout of former federation president Luis Rubiales’ nonconsensual kiss to player Jenni Hermoso during the World Cup’s awards ceremony in Australia.
