UEFA want Rocchi to officiate UCL final and Euro 2020; AIA's response
UEFA have been very impressed by the referee's performances as of late, with the intention of focusing on the effectiveness of the 46-year-old and his understanding of VAR in Europe as well. In fact, as Corriere Dello Sport reports (via calciomercato.com), they want him for the 2020 UCL final.
Of course, this depends on the team in the final, as he can't officiate the game if an Italian team is participating. Furthermore, as the newspaper states, UEFA want him to officiate in the Euro 2020, though this has caused an issue as he first intended to retire.
According to the newspaper, the Italian referees' association have said 'no' to the idea. Then again, there is a lot of time left until then and perhaps UEFA will be able to persuade the AIA.
