In Giminez case it’s Eredivisie level we’re talking about. Every league under the top 4/5 gives you zero guarantees they can do it on a higher level.

I think the ex footballers themselves should stand up. Give them a proper referee training so they can sit in the VAR booth. With all their football experience they are better capable to make decisions than these guys who have never kicked a ball. Of course you’re not gonna see the starplayer multi miljonair ex player doing this but there must be a ton of ex players looking for a job that they know all about.
