How do you see this as a slap on the wrist? He's facing disciplinary proceedings after the initial 90 day suspension.
79 coaches have resigned.
This feels like serious repercussions territory.
The Spanish FA not only have not forced him to resign, they have threatened to sue Hermoso on his behalf. The FIFA suspension is necessary because they will not act. The (now) 81 players resigning is necessary because they will not act. The entire coaching team resigning is necessary because they will not act.
There will be serious repercussions and the deeper they dig this hole, the worse they will be. But the things you cite are a response to the refusal of his employer to do anything at all.
Ah, appreciate the context. Thank you.
