(Reuters) - The president of European soccer's governing body Aleksander Ceferin called Luis Rubiales' behaviour
"inappropriate" but said he did not want to interfere with FIFA's disciplinary investigation into the Spanish Football Federation chief.
FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Rubiales over the incident with player Jenni Hermoso last Sunday in Sydney that has caused an uproar among players and fans."Of course, what he did was inappropriate. We all know it. I hope he knows it was inappropriate. This is enough for the moment because the independent disciplinary bodies will decide," UEFA President Ceferin told French newspaper L'Equipe on Wednesday.
