Former football player of Spanish Celta and Russian national team Alexander Mostovoy believes that with the arrival of the head of the refereeing office of the Russian Football Union (RFU), Milorad Mazhic, the situation regarding the referees in the championship will not change. Words lead the way “Championship.com”.
“From a rearrangement of terms, the total does not change. I don’t see any difference between those who came before and those who come now. VAR came to the rescue, but even he is often helpless in refereeing decisions.
If we want to reduce the number of mistakes, there should be people who have played football all their lives next to the referees. They will not eliminate all bugs, but they will reduce their number. Nothing will change with the arrival of Mazhich in Russia as a referee, ”said Mostovoy.
Mazhic will arrive in Moscow on June 29 and will take up his duties at the Russian Premier League (RPL) referees’ meeting. His contract with the RFU was signed for two years with the possibility of an extension for another season.
Mažić’s deputy will be his former deputy Dalibor Dzhurdzhevich, who will be responsible, among other things, for improving the quality of the VAR system.
Mažić has served in the matches of the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups, the 2017 Confederations Cup, the 2018 Champions League final and other international tournaments. After completing his career, he managed the judiciary in Cyprus and also taught at the International Football Federation (FIFA).
