Luis Rubiales says he intends to resign as president of Spain’s soccer federation after Women’s World Cup champion Jenni Hermoso accused him of sexual assault following the country’s win last month.

The incident occurred while Rubiales was congratulating the Spanish women’s team following their Aug. 20 defeat of England’s team, bringing the country its first win at the women’s tournament.

In a clip posted by Piers Morgan on Sunday, Rubiales confirmed he’d step down from his position during an interview.
