Football Luis Rubiales: first-class businessman, second-class footballer and son of a socialist
Controversy Luis Rubiales: war in the courts with the architect "maquinón" who accuses him of aggression
Opinion The joys that Gerard Piqué has given us
Since Luis Rubiales was elected
president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation
in 2018, controversy has accompanied the former footballer turned businessman.
In an arbitration carried out by the press, and about to be reviewed by the Justice, Luis Manuel Rubiales Béjar (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 1977)
does not stop accumulating yellow cards.
Despite the fact that in 2020, the Canarian revalidated his position until 2024 with great support within his environment, the truth is that since his accession to the throne of Spanish football,
scandals have not stopped happening.
Despite the fact that many of them have had judicial sentences more favorable than the public accusations.
The last question about his sports ethics took place just a month ago, when
his association with the soccer player Gerard Piqué was discovered through some audio leaked by
El Confidencial .
Together with the Barcelona Football Club player, the president of the RFEF received a high commission for taking the
Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia in 2020.
Both center-backs had lined up in a master move that made them
capture the amount of 24 million euros in 2016.
Business that was criticized, among other journalists, by Juanma Castaño.
Faced with a sharp Piqué, the announcer of
El Partidazo de la COPE
wondered if the president of the RFEF could have
used his power to favor Barça in a match.
But in recent years, the culé men's soccer team
has not won an excessive number of titles.
After emerging victorious before a large part of the public in this debate, it seems that
Gerard Piqué has begun to share
more than just business with his friend Rubiales.
Well, far from being seen as manipulators of the playing fields,
both partners begin to star in more skirts
than shorts.
Since it was reported a week ago that the Barcelona defender has broken up with Shakira after
ten years of relationship and two children together,
everything indicates that Piqué will face a
harsh exposure of his public life.
Just like Ruby.

TWO BLONDES AND BLONDES
In the sentimental field,
Rubi and Piqué are back in the news these days.
Aligned in the initial 11 of the most successful men with women, where the 10 of the team is El Chatarrero, both businessmen accumulate names of possible endearing friends.
However,
in the case of the president of the RFEF
, these relationships have gone from being a matter of the heart to being considered also of the portfolio.
According to the digital medium, the former player filled
two couples with the privileges that allow his power in the last six years.
Women who shared with him
everything from luxury business trips to
high-paying office jobs and questionable functionality.
The first known friend of the canary was
the Mexican painter Roberta Lobeira (42).
Famous for having made
the paintings for the popular Netflix series La
Casa de las Flores
, now she is the one being portrayed by the media.
In the fall of 2018, the artist accepted
a luxury trip to New York with Rubiales,
with whom she took a
selfie
to later publish it.
Allegedly, the former player
invented a meeting with the UN and Major League Soccer
to go on a romantic getaway.
The investigation known as
Supercopa Files may reveal that travel
, hotel stays and other expenses managed through
El Corte Inglés Viajes
had nothing to do with business or football.

This alleged irregularity also occurred when Rubiales
had just been appointed as the highest position in the RFEF.
Despite his short time at the helm, he had no qualms about charging an account linked to the association for the expenses of a 4-star hotel,
whose price is usually around 350 euros per night
, or of restaurants in the most exclusive area of the city.
For its part, the American Airlines flight was in business.
To this day, from the institution they deny that this has happened.
It
is also unknown if Roberta Lobeira continues to have contact
with the president.
Parallel to this friendship,
Rubiales had developed affection for another woman for years
.
In this case, a
model named Brigit Tenorio with whom he has been dating since 2016
, when he was still running the Association of Spanish Soccer Players.
Supposedly, it was her romantic relationship with the canary that
made her get a job as a high secretary in 2018.
Using her economics studies as her argument, Rubiales had previously placed her in the syndicated
AFE and shortly after in the advertising company DDP SL.
Official provider of the RFEF.
She where she remained until 2020 with a hefty salary.
In 2021, Rubiales received
a salary of 634,518 euros, which was added to the 250,000 euros
he receives as vice-president of UEFA.
ALL THE PRESIDENT'S WOMEN
Luis Rubiales was married to
the lawyer Manuela Delicado Vega
, with whom he has three daughters.
The former soccer player divorced her years ago, although he maintains a good relationship.
Since then, it is unknown if the president has had any kind of
stable and public relationship with his close people
.
In 2015, Rubiales starred in a lawsuit with a woman who has nothing to do with the sentimental.
The businessman
won a lawsuit against the architect
Yasmina Eid-Mached
,
who accused him of physically assaulting her and not paying her for some works.
Meanwhile, he denounced her for harassment and for
not finishing a paid job at La Ciudad del Futbolista.
