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.
