Antony Gautier retained as head of French refereeing until the end of the season. A “peaceful meeting” was held this Wednesday between Philippe Diallo, boss of the FFF, and representatives of professional clubs.

The clubs want a new organization of French arbitration, the one put in place by the organization set up by FFF and the CFA (federal arbitration commission) not functioning according to them. A new meeting scheduled for April 18 will discuss the six recommendations of the Laurent report.
