Carte blanche to Frank Schneider

The aim of this formal interview is to give the floor to the first French professional referee to work for a Ligue 1 club. This type of career change, quite common in rugby, is only just beginning to emerge in European football. He talks about his pioneering and innovative activity. This Carte Blanche synthesizes several interviews and years of exchanges in the field. The former international referee describes his day-to-day life, talks about his evolving relationships with the various staffs, and is passionate about his educational role with players of all ages. Rather than focusing on technological rationality, the former international referee places his faith in training and the development of human capital.
