Spain: Casillas instead of Rubiales, the big surprise?

According to Relevo, Iker Casillas is one of the candidates for the presidency of the Spanish Football Federation.

The position of president of the Spanish Federation now vacant following the resignation of Luis Rubiales on September 10, several names of potential successors are circulating.

According to Relevo, two candidates would be in the balance to take the head of the RFEF: the former glory of Spanish football and Real Madrid, Iker Casillas, and Mateu Lahoz, the former La Liga referee. The Iberian media, however, does not rule out the possibility that Mateu Alemany, the former sporting director of Barça, will also position himself for the position.

And even if for the moment, Pedro Rocha Junco takes over as interim, an election of the former goalkeeper of the Roja This would constitute a real promotion for the man who currently serves as deputy general director of the Real Madrid foundation since December 2020.
