Shortly afterwards 15 former members of the team issued a public letter criticising Tarrés for using authoritarian and demeaning behaviour in her role as head coach, although Mengual and national team captain Andrea Fuentes both spoke in Tarrés' defence, and Fuentes subsequently announced her retirement from elite competition in January 2013 due to demotivation as a result of the conflict between Tarrés and the federation. After leaving the Spanish national team Tarrés was appointed as one of the coaches of the Ukrainian national team in 2015.
