Can any one confirm in the Bundesliga only 3 officials are used with the senior AR doubling as a 4th official but this is now going to change by adding a 4th official? Also is there an official observer attached to the officials to act as a mentor observor not related to match duties? Thanks in advance.
From January on in Bundesliga: 1 main referee 2 referee assistants 1 assistant caring for the coaching zone (as in the Champions League) 2.Bundesliga and lower: 1 main referee 2 referee assistants Not quite sure what you mean otherwise. There are people observing the ref's performances in all leagues and rate them. Refs promote and demote as clubs.
