from referee to match manager: Requirements for decision-making and its presentation the perspective of 23rd man

At a time when football referees face increased pressure and responsibility due to the huge sums of money involved in national and international football, the aim of the study presented in this book is to outline the fundamental qualities required of a referee in order to meet the demands of modern football. Drawing on the insights of professional referees, the discussion focuses on the thoughts, solutions and preventive measures adopted by the 23rd man. Insights into decision-making are provided, and answers are sought to the question of whether decisions are made in isolation or whether individual decisions are underpinned by a greater purpose. In addition to the academic and informative significance of this work, the practical descriptions of behaviour in individual scenarios, together with the theoretical background, are intended to contribute to a greater understanding of the referee. It aims to facilitate a shift in the reader's perspective and to raise their awareness of the immense responsibility borne by the referee.
