Spain replaces women’s team coach Montse Tomé with Sonia Bermúdez

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s women’s national team is making a coaching change two weeks after reaching the final of the European Championship.

Montse Tomé will not have her contract renewed and will be replaced by former player Sonia Bermúdez, the Spanish soccer federation said Monday.

Another former Spain player, Iraia Iturregi, was named the team’s second coach.

The decision was made by the federation’s board members after Tomé led Spain to the Euro 2025 final , which it lost to England in a penalty shootout on July 27.

“The board of directors would like to express its gratitude for Montse Tomé’s work, professionalism and dedication in her various roles during her time as a member of the national teams at the Spanish soccer federation, particularly during her time as national team coach,”
