He is especially popular for the way he treats ill-mannered footballers in the Italian league who surround the referee after every decision. So much for its popularity. And now Juan Luca Sacchi has also become infamous. And something completely different is to blame for that. In the last round of the Italian league, the match between Lecce and Sassuolo was decided.
The teams are in the tunnel. They are just waiting for the main referee. Francesca Di Monte shakes hands with the second assistant. As soon as Sacchi arrives, he shakes hands with the Sassuolo captain. When he turns around, he points his hand at the assistant.
The moment before the handshake he will change his mind. The moment he sees her. She shakes hands with the captain of Lecce, who is behind her. And you can go to the playground. Only Di Monte shakes her head in shock. Shame on you again.
Although it is probably completely different.

Italians they report, that he won’t record at least one match. And in addition, the head of the referees, the legendary former referee Gianluca Rocchi himself, explained to him what shame he had brought to the Italian referees.
Women are still trying to establish themselves at the highest level in football. Not to mention women trying to make it in men’s football. At this moment, practically only the members of the implementation teams or the referees have such an opportunity.
And it is a hard and rejecting fight. If you were to go to any Slovak village, there is a high probability that when a match is being decided by a woman or she is on the line, she will hear something from the classic Kriklún sexist repertoire.
And that is precisely why the entire football world reacted to the incident described above in the way it did. This has been happening in football for years, similar skeletons are popping out of all kinds of closets in all kinds of corners of the world. It happens all the time. And so when there is even a hint, we notice.
The reality in this case was probably something different.
