New President of the Italian Referees’ Association Alfredo Trentalange is open to allowing post-match interviews with officials. ‘It might help understanding of the rules.’

The idea of getting referees to speak to the media and explain some of their decisions has long been rejected by the authorities.

That may well change in future, as Trentalange has been voted President of the AIA, ending 13 years of Marcello Nicchi’s reign.

“Why not give interviews?” Trentalange told Il Messaggero newspaper.

“While also respecting the work of the sporting justice system, which is the primary concern, I think explaining some decisions might help people’s understanding of the rules.”
