Capello: ‘Coaches in VAR booth’

Fabio Capello believes VAR can be improved by “putting a Coach next to the officials in the booth, so there’s a more complete view.”

The new technology was introduced in Serie A from this season and has provided mixed results, as Coaches complained that there is a lack of consistency in the way incidents are treated.

“In order to improve the use of this technology, I’d put a Coach next to the VAR officials in the booth, so there’s a more complete view,” Capello told Tuttosport.

“The referees are a world apart and I think by putting a Coach with experience of the touchline next to them, it’d create more progress.”
