referee François Letexier recounts his astonishing second job

In an interview with the media Brut, French referee François Letexier spoke about his other profession, that of justice commissioner. Two professions in which he finds some similarities.

A life punctuated by his profession as a referee, almost daily training… and a second job: that of justice commissioner (formerly called bailiff). It was during a (sponsored) interview given to the media Brut that François Letexier opened up and revealed that he works alongside his job as a referee. “I discovered this profession when I was at law school. I took a legal course, and it was from the license that I became familiar with this environment, with a speaker who was at the time the president of the regional chamber of bailiffs, I discovered a field profession, very practical, that's really what I liked”, explains Letexier.

Apart from this very practical aspect, it is also the relationship with humans that attracts him. “We are facing people, we don’t have a routine that is created,” he says on the microphone of Brut. Any similarities between his two professions? The Frenchman finds it: “ generates quite crazy behavior in terms of emotions and in my work as a justice commissioner, often, when I act in recovery action, my presence is not necessarily desired, the situations generate there also reactions to which I must adapt.”

“Two professions that go together very well”

Despite his mobilization this season in Ligue 1, the Champions League and the Nations League, plus his five to six training sessions per week… François Letexier manages to find time for his other profession, which is necessary for him. “These are two professions that combine very well, and it allows me to think about something else and live a slightly more normal life again, because football is quite extraordinary,” he declares.

Considered one of the best French referees of the moment with Clément Turpin, the native of was on the whistle for the last Euro final between Spain and England, but also during the last Classic, where he notably expelled Amine Harit.
