Spain's 'kiss-gate' FA president Luis Rubiales is now 'considering resigning' as he's handed a 'quit or be banned' threat by the government - and he could go as soon as tomorrow

Luis Rubiales, the Spanish FA's controversial president, is reportedly considering resigning from his position after coming under mounting pressure in the wake of his behaviour at the World Cup final.

Rubiales hit the headlines on Sunday following Spain's 1-0 triumph over England as kissed Spanish player Jenni Hermoso on the mouth and also appeared to grab his crotch around Spain's queen and her 16-year-old daughter.

The report states that earlier this week Rubiales was still confident he could turn the situation around, but the continued furore over his behaviour has led him to believe his departure is the only valid option, with the 46-year-old described as 'cornered'.

Hermoso also rejected the chance to appear in
