It is Mr. François Letexier, 35, from the Brittany League, that we will find at the whistle of the Hundred and Sixth Derby. It will take place on Sunday April 20 at 8:45 p.m. in the cauldron, on behalf of the thirtieth day of Ligue 1.
He will be assisted by MM. Cyril Mugnier and Mehdi Rahmouni, Mr. Pierre Gaillouste being the fourth. Will be in charge of video assistance, MM. Willy Delajod and Ludovic Remi.
Let us recall that sixty-two different referees have, since 1951, directed at least one, from the hundred and twenty-five Derbys to date, all official competitions combined. The record, with six designations, is held by Mr. Roger Machin who officiated in the 1960s and 70s.
