Montserrat Tomé, formerly the head coach of the Spanish national team, has secured a new coaching position with Pachuca in Mexico. This move follows her dismissal by the Spanish Football Federation after Spain's defeat in the Euro final against England in August 2025. Tomé's appointment has generated significant discussion, particularly due to its symbolic connection to Jenni Hermoso. Hermoso previously played for Pachuca when she was sexually assaulted by Luis Rubiales, then president of the RFEF, during the 2023 World Cup celebrations. Hermoso, who has since returned to Atlético de Madrid, commented "Que el viento os proteja" on Pachuca's Instagram post announcing Tomé's arrival. This comment references Tomé's controversial applause for Rubiales' speech in August 2023 when he refused to resign, and her subsequent decision not to call up Hermoso to the Spanish squad from October 2024 until the end of her tenure.
