Greek FA chief Lanoue considers Rosetti's monthly referee review plan

Greek Football Federation president Angelos Lanoue, who halted the league’s monthly tele‑review of controversial match incidents, is now re‑examining a proposal from UEFA refereeing committee head Roberto Rosetti. Rosetti suggests that the Greek FA conduct a monthly tele‑review of disputed phases from the last four matchdays, though details on whether the review will be written or filmed remain unclear.

Lanoue and his senior staff, including Valeris and Alonzo, argue that the earlier suspension was not due to perceived toxicity but stemmed from concerns about their position and potential effects on the federation’s contract extension through 2028. The team, which aims to remain in charge for the next two years at a cost of roughly €1 million, wants to avoid immediate post‑match commentary that could create inconsistent interpretations and “two‑tier” judgments. No guarantee has been given that the new review format will alter the existing commentary approach, and new referee panels have already been introduced.

The discussion reflects ongoing tension between maintaining transparent officiating oversight and preserving the federation’s operational stability.
