Spain names former player Sonia Bermudez as head coach of women's national team
Spain's women's national team replaces coach Montse Tome with former player Sonia Bermúdez on Monday.
The RFEF took to social media to announce the appointment.
👋🏼 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗔, Sonia.
Sonia Bermúdez, nueva seleccionadora nacional, disputó 63 partidos con la @SEFutbolFem, anotando un total de 35 goles.
Formará tándem con Iraia Iturregi, quien cuenta con años de experiencia en los banquillos y 402 partidos en Primera.# — RFEF (@rfef) August 11, 2025
She will form a duo with another former player, Iraia Iturregi, who has years of experience on the sidelines and 402 matches in the First Division.
The decision was made by the federation's board members after Tome led Spain to the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 final, which it lost to England in a penalty shootout on July 27.
Tome replaced former coach Jorge Vilda following the team's FIFA Women's World Cup title in 2023. She led Spain to the title of the inaugural Women's Nations League in 2024. Her current contract with the national team was valid until the end of the month.
𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗦, Montse.
🥇 Campeona de la Nations League 2024.
🥈 Subcampeona de Europa 2025. — RFEF (@rfef) August 11, 2025
Tome was the first woman to coach the senior women's team in Spain. She had been an assistant to Vilda during the World Cup and was promoted in the fallout of former federation president Luis Rubiales' nonconsensual kiss of player Jenni Hermoso during the World Cup's awards ceremony in Australia.
