Jenni Hermoso is, without a doubt, one of the most talented and high-profile footballers in Spain. In recent months, her name has been on everyone's lips. Not only because of her quality on the field, but also because of what has happened off it.
The player hasn't been drafted for the Spanish national team by Montse Tomé, the coach who was leading the women's team. This decision didn't go unnoticed and sparked major controversy.
Many fans and experts saw this exclusion as a consequence of the well-known Rubiales case. Jenni didn't stay silent and, through her social media, posted several indirect messages that many interpreted as being aimed at Tomé.
The end of an era: Montse Tomé says goodbye
The situation in the national team has taken an unexpected turn. This Monday, it became official that Montse Tomé will no longer be the coach of the Spanish women's senior national team. The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) decided not to renew her contract, which was set to expire on August 31.
Tomé took over after Jorge Vilda was dismissed, and her time on the bench has been marked by ups and downs. Under her leadership, Spain won a historic title: the first edition of the Nations League. In that competition, the team clearly defeated rivals such as the Netherlands and France.
This success allowed the national team to qualify for the Olympic Games for the first time, which will be held in Paris in 2024. However, the joy was overshadowed by the disappointment of not winning a medal at that event.
Jenni Hermoso and her major goal achieved
With Tomé's departure, everything seems to indicate that the dynamic within the team will change. For Jenni Hermoso, this news represents a golden opportunity. Since she was sidelined, her desire has been clear: to wear Spain's jersey again and contribute all her talent to the team.
With the coach's exit, a door opens for Jenni to reclaim her place. Beyond the controversy, the national team needs her quality and experience. The footballer has proven to be a key piece in the growth of Spanish women's soccer, and her return could be the boost the team needs to face new challenges.
Looking to the future
The Spanish women's national team is entering a period of renewal and hope. Montse Tomé's departure brings an end to a chapter full of turbulence and also brilliant moments.
For Jenni Hermoso, this is the key moment to fulfill her greatest dream: to return to the national team and continue her story in Spanish soccer. Spanish women's soccer is on the move. With players like Jenni, the future promises strong emotions.
