Referees – After two months Sacchi returns, he will direct Lecce-Turin

On 7 January, his early whistle nullified Acerbi’s goal, and the designator Rocchi announced: “He’ll stay on the bench for a while”. Now the return for Sunday’s match at 12.30

Juan Luca Sacchi returns to refereeing in Serie A after two months: it was January 7 when his early whistle nullified an Inter goal by Acerbi. Monza-Inter finished 2-2 but the echo went on for days precisely because of that untimely “call” from the referee who until today (and from that day) has only played the role of fourth official in Serie A.

Lecce-Turin

“Let’s say he’ll stay on the bench for a while” said the designator Gianluca Rocchi in a meeting in Lissone on 12 January. And he added: “Nowadays you have to wait for the action to finish. Curbing an instinct, therefore the whistle, is a very complex thing but it must be done”. Thus, Sacchi (who was already stopped last season at the end of the championship after a Juventus-Bologna) was out for two months: he will return to Lecce-Turin, Sunday’s match at 12.30.
