The Spanish state’s sports body, the Consejo Superior de los Deportes, will meet on Tuesday to discuss Villar’s replacement at the top of soccer federation RFEF, government spokesman Inigo Mendez de Vigo said. “Our aim from the outset was to ensure that everything is working normally at a time when the president and vice-president (of the RFEF) are in custody,” Mendez de Vigo told a news conference after the government’s weekly cabinet meeting.
