Shortly after he was elected, Rubiales in a surprise move sacked Spain's men's national coach Julen Lopetegui just two days before the start of the 2018 World Cup. "I'm going to win for sure," Rubiales, a divorced father of three girls, told reporters before the vote. Larea had taken the post on a temporary basis after the federation's longtime president, Angel Maria Villar, was suspended on suspicion of embezzlement and other offences. Rubiales defeated Juan Luis Larrea, the federation's former treasurer and interim chief, in the election to become president. Tebas once said he felt Rubiales was "not qualified" for the post. His first clashes with La Liga president Javier Tebas began during this time, and they continued when Rubiales was elected president of the football federation in 2018.

He also persuaded La Liga to agree to pay AFE a percentage of its TV broadcast rights.
Under his watch AFE called two national players' strikes - in 20 - and oversaw the creation of a fund to cover unpaid salaries. The team went on strike and the players eventually collected their wages, a success that likely encouraged him to fight for his colleagues at Spanish football players' union AFE which he headed between 20. At Levante, Rubiales led a player revolt against unpaid wages, possibly inheriting a taste for public life from his father who served as the Socialist mayor of Motril in the mid-1990s.
He was always a model of dedication and loyalty with everyone," former Levante coach Manolo Preciado once said of Rubiales, who played for the Valencia-based side between 20. " He was a modern defender, physically very strong. Born on Spain's Canary Islands but raised in Motril on the country's Mediterranean coast, Rubiales played for various lower division teams before finishing his football career in 2009 at Scotland's Hamilton Academical. The controversial 46-year-old has been under fire after he cupped star player Jenni Hermoso's head and forcefully kissed her after Spain beat England 1-0 in the World Cup final in Australia last month.
