Fans were pictured holding several signs, including a poster demanding that manager Jorge Vilda be relieved of his post.
The manager of Spain’s women’s team has become a polarizing figure within his team, and those divisions became very clear at this year’s World Cup.
However, he led his side to an improbable victory in the tournament, but fans are still suggesting he should leave.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for the manager, whose future may still remain in doubt despite the achievement.
Another fan held up a sign suggesting that Spanish star Aitana Bonmatí would win the Ballon d’Or this season after her impressive World Cup performances.
The Spaniards will party all night in Madrid after welcoming their heroes home.
