Roberto Rosetti (born 18 September 1967) is an Italian former football referee. He is fluent in Italian (native), English and French. He started refereeing in 1983, and took charge of his first match in the Italian Serie A in 1996. He received his FIFA Badge in 2002.[1] Aside from his refereeing duties, Rosetti works as director of a hospital.
Rosetti is counted amongst the top referees of all time in a list maintained by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).[2] He retired following the 2010 FIFA World Cup to take a position with the Italian Football Federation as the referee designator for Serie B League.
Luciano Moggi, then general director of Juventus, had described Rosetti and his colleague Pierluigi Collina as being too 'objective' in an intercepted telephone call. Moggi also claimed that Rosetti and Collina should be 'punished' for decisions made against Juventus in that same phonecall.[3]
Rosetti is currently the Chief Refereeing Officer and Chairman of the Referees Committee at UEFA.[4]
