A 45-year-old lawyer based in Vigo will be responsible for football referees after the Spanish Football Federation Rafael Louzán dismissed the refereeing leadership headed by Luis Medina Cantalejo and Carlos Cloz Gómez a few days ago. Fran Soto, who has never refereed in Spanish professional football, will be the new president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA), a group that is at the center of attention whenever the soccer ball rolls and which Florentino Pérez has fought to steer in its favor for years.
