Court of First Instance number 33 of Madrid has accepted for processing a lawsuit filed by more than 330 coaches against the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The technicians accuse the RFEF of not allowing them to practice abroad by not issuing them the so-called UEFA license.

According to the plaintiffs, the federation does issue this license to those who have studied in centers dependent on it. The complaint, of 26 pages and to which this newspaper has had access, denounces the violation of article 14 of the Spanish Constitution - which establishes that Spaniards are equal before the law - and the free movement of workers in the EU. "With the qualification of senior sports technicians in football, any of the plaintiffs could coach a first division football team (such as Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, Barcelona, etc.) in the Spanish competition and, yet, not could do so to a French third division team," says the complaint, which was admitted for processing on April 12. The plaintiffs put the number of workers affected by the football federation's actions in the thousands since they have received offers from abroad. The RFEF sent two reports to the Higher Sports Council (CSD) on Wednesday. The federation is waiting to see if the CSD convenes the organization's board of directors to vote on the provisional suspension of Pedro Rocha and the managing commission. The origin of the TAD file is a complaint by Miguel Galán who accuses R Cocha of having exceeded his duties as interim president and of delaying the electoral call in the R FEF. The CSD is analyzing the 39 pages of the document to decide whether or not to disqualify RochA and the rest of the members of the federation who made up its hard core after surviving the Rubiales crisis. The organization continues in a situation of absolute interim, without a president or anyone capable of signing a single contract to advance day-to-day management.
