The Federation denies that Montse Tomé was promised continuity.

"I'm disappointed," said Montse Tomé , former national women's soccer coach, about what happened in the last few hours with her dismissal and the way it was done. The coach complained especially about the president, who lacked clarity in his message and, above all, who she says promised her continued service.

The Royal Spanish Football Federation denies that Rafael Louzán has guaranteed the Oviedo coach's continued contract. They say the president has spoken with them many times, one of the most recent being in Caldas, at the referees' meeting in the Asturian town.

Sources within the organization claim that Montse was never promised a contract renewal if she made it past the quarterfinals of the European Championship. They appeal to the president's personality, always very approachable and affectionate, regarding the theoretical "lack of clarity" the former national team coach alluded to in the interview she gave to El Larguero on Tuesday night, and that she may have misinterpreted the conversation with the federation's top official.

What emerges from the coach's interview and from the sources consulted by EL MUNDO is that the relationship with the director of football, Reyes Bellver , wasn't the best. "It's true that since she came in, I haven't had much or done much work with 100% of the national team because I've done the work there with my technical team and my entire staff," the Oviedo native noted.

However, Tomé was never part of the plans of the highest authority in Spanish women's football, and her departure was a matter of time, justified by the defeat in the European Championship final in Switzerland against England.

The Federation understands that the former national team coach is hurt by what happened and that the coach is looking for someone to blame, but they don't want to enter into a war of my word against yours and rule out any future together, at least for the immediate future.
