Montse Tome is Spain’s first female national team coach.

The RFEF football organisation of Spain chose Montse Tome as the new coach of its World Cup-winning women’s squad on Tuesday, the first time a woman has held the position.

“The Royal Spanish Football Federation has appointed Montse Tome as women’s national team coach, and she will be the first woman to hold the position in Spain,” the Royal Spanish Football Federation said in a statement issued several hours after firing her controversial predecessor Jorge Vilda as part of a major sexism scandal.
