Sergey Fursenko: Rosetti will be guarantor of refereeing impartiality
President of the Russian FA Sergey Fursenko has explained the reasons behind the appointment of Roberto Rosetti for the position of the director of the FA’s refereeing and inspection department.
«Unfortunately, today Russian football lacks trust. Coaches and experts have been repeatedly voicing criticism and negative opinions on refereeing. Therefore, we believed that a foreign – and obliously authoritative – referee had to become the guarantor of the refereeing impartiality. We found him in Rosetti. He is one of the best football referees in the world,» stated Fursenko according to RIA Novosti.
Fursenko also revealed on air for Radio Sport, what will be Rosetti’s functions in his new position: «He will organize the work of the refereeing department, appoint referees, include younger referees in the list and prepare them to work at the international level.»
