[SPAIN] The president the Spanish Second Division club that recently acquired American teen Jozy Altidore on loan quit on Thursday after he was suspected of being involved in a shooting at a brothel in Jerez de la Frontera in southwest Spain.

Joaquin Bilbao and his driver spent the night in a police cell. Bilbao denied firing the shots at the door of a brothel, which was closed.

"For personal reasons, for family reasons and, above all, for the good of the club, I have decided to submit my resignation," Bilbao said on RNE radio.

Altidore has not played for Xerez since moving on loan from Villarreal.
