Montse Tome was expecting to keep her job as the coach of Spain's women's national team after leading it to the European Championship final last month. But despite helping the side seal the final berth, she doesn't know why her contract was not extended.

"Things happen in soccer that you don't expect," Tome said in an interview with a Spanish radio channel.

The country's soccer federation had announced that it is not going to extend her contract and she will be replaced by former player Sonia Bermudez. The official body's announcement came after Spain suffered a loss in the Euro 2025 final against England in a penalty shootout.
