Belgian arbitration is discussed almost every week. The football association now seems to have gotten the message: it is ending its collaboration with VAR manager Fredy Fautrel.
Under the leadership of Stephanie Forde, operational director of the referee department, the arbitration corps received a collective salary increase at the end of last year. “In return, we expect high-quality arbitration and efficient organization,” said Lorin Parys, CEO of the Pro League. However, the reality is that referees have made little progress in recent months; They even seem to have taken a few steps back.
There is also a good chance that technical director Bertrand Layec will have to leave. He was paid well while the club had to save a lot. His position also seems to be somewhat in line with that of the German chairman Herbert Fändel, who through his contacts had to help put Belgian arbitration on a better international map.
However, it is still unclear whether this decision will affect the replay of the games between Genk and Anderlecht and between KV Mechelen and Club Brugge. “Human errors” were committed in both games, leading to the teams demanding a replay. They still don’t accept the Football Association’s decisions and are both trying to be right.
