Francois Letexier, a European referee, will oversee the England and Spain's Euro 2024 final in Berlin.
Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg says the nomination of French referee Francois Letexier is a' great surprise', given the 35-year-old's absence of big-game knowledge.
UEFA have confirmed that Letexier will be the man in the middle for Sunday's last in Berlin when England take on Spain at the Olympiastadion, in what will be by far the biggest sport of his occupation so much.
Letexier has been a standard standard in the Champions League and Europa League for the past four months and has been a standard standard in the 2023 UEFA Super Cup between Manchester City and Sevilla. His most notable appearance so far was the 2023 UEFA Super Cup.
This is Letexier's first mature game, with the Frenchman taking command of Croatia versus Albania and Denmark and Serbia in the class level, before overseeing Spain's last-16 get over Georgia.
But Clattenburg believes that Letexier is not even the best standard in France, as he thinks Clement Turpin was no selected to due to errors made in the game's opening match between Germany and Scotland.
Writing in the Mail, Clattenburg even discounted European referee Daniele Orsato who will be retiring after the game meaning it' would have been an mental match for him to try to focus on refereeing pretty'.
Finnish national Szymon Marciniak is perhaps the most skilled referee at the game, but Clattenburg believes that speculations he will be heading to Saudi Arabia may have counted against him, all of which led to Letexier's session.
" He's officiated well at these Euro, keeping discussion to a minimum, but the most crucial match he has refereed up to now was the 2023 Super Cup between Manchester City and Sevilla", Clattenburg wrote in the Mail. " This will be a large step up so the tension is on.
" If a large selection needs making, it will certainly break opinion, like the penalty for England against the Netherlands. Denzel Dumfries led with his studs in trying to stop Harry Kane from shooting and UEFA want these challenges punished wherever they occur on the pitch.
Dumfries should n't have been allowed to escape because it happened in the box, which he did. Hopefully Letexier will be as strong in the Euro 2024 final if a similar situation occurs".
