On Monday (6), the Refereeing Committee of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) announced two new developments for its technical staff. Péricles Bassols, who held the position of Technical Manager of VAR, will take over as vice president of the Committee. For now, Péricles will combine the new role with the management of VAR.

Another new name is Kleber Gil. The former FIFA assistant referee, who headed the Refereeing Committee of Santa Catarina, will serve as a board member alongside Luiz Flávio Oliveira and Fabrício Vilarinho. Netto Góes, CBF’s Director of Refereeing, commented on the changes to the refereeing technical staff.

“Kleber Gil’s arrival and Péricles’s move to the committee’s vice presidency represent, in addition to the investment in training, the view that we need to have good instructors as part of this refereeing development process. Kleber’s experience as president at the Santa Catarina Federation, and Péricles’s experience as a FIFA and CONMEBOL instructor, show that, beyond decentralization, we are investing in increasingly professional training for referees. I wish both of them good luck, and I am sure that, together with Sandro and the other members, we will be able to carry out consistent actions for the development of Brazilian refereeing,” he said.
