WHAT HAPPENED?
The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has confirmed Tome will depart when her contract expires at the end of August. Under-23 boss Sonia Bermudez will take over as manager of the women's national team following their disappointing end to Euro 2025. Tome has now spoken out about the situation and says that a conversation with RFEF president Rafael Louzan had led her to believe she would be staying on in her role.

WHAT TOME SAID
She told : "No one told me I was fired. I found out I wouldn't be leading the national team anymore through a message from my representative. Louzán told me that if we had a good Euro Cup, I would stay on. I'm disappointed because I think he went back on his promise to me."

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The Spain national team has seen plenty of changes in recent years. Tome replaced Jorge Vilda at the helm after he was sacked in the wake of the Luis Rubiales scandal at World Cup 2023. Tome raised eyebrows by then opting not to select Jenni Hermoso for her first squad but did recall Spain's record goalscorer for the team's successful Nations League campaign in 2023-24. However, Hermoso was controversially dropped again at the end of last year and was left out of the squad for Euro 2025. Spain did make it all the way to the final, before being beaten by England, but are still yet to win a European Championship despite being blessed with an abundance of talented players.
