[HIGHLIGHTS] “Dialogue and trust are definitively broken”: Ligue 1 clubs want the head of the refereeing director

17 Ligue 1 clubs demand the departure of Technical Director of Refereeing (DTA) Antony Gautier. “dialogue and trust (were) definitively broken”, say the clubs.

French refereeing is going through a very serious crisis, between controversies over the decisions of officials, use of VAR and a battle of egos. This situation led to the dismissal of Stéphane Lannoy, technical director of arbitration delegated to the professional sector, reputed to be close to the leaders of the professional clubs.
