It is Clement Turpin who was appointed to referee the poster RC Lens-Nantes this Saturday. Aged 42, international referee, he is number 3 in the 2023-2024 referee ranking published by the FFF.
Nicolas Danos and Benjamin Pages will be his assistants while Valentin Giorgetti will be the 4th referee. Jérôme Brisard and Pascal Poupeau are responsible for video assistance. Clément Turpin has refereed 5 Ligue 1 matches this season for 18 yellow cards and one red.
A Lens victory and a red for his last in Bollaert
The last time he refereed a match RC Lens dates back to December 2, 2023. The Sang et Or won 3-2 at Bollaert against Lyon. A match that the Lensois finished at 10 after the expulsion of Florian Sotoca at the 90' for too muscular an intervention. If in France he may have been targeted by criticism, he was regularly praised during his arbitrations abroad, notably after the last semi-final first leg of the Bayern Munich-Real Madrid Champions League. Chosen for the opening match of the last Euro (Germany-Scotland), he has, however, just been targeted by Jose Mourinho whom he sent off in the Europa League during Fenerbahçe-Manchester United (1-1, October 24). I congratulated him because he is absolutely incredible. He has peripheral vision. At 160 km/hour, he has one eye on the penalty situation and the other on the bench to see my behavior. That's why he's one of the best referees in the world. », quipped the famous Special One in front of the TNT Sports microphones after the meeting.
