Fifa president Sepp Blatter plans to introduce a TV trial allowing
coaches to challenge referees' decisions. Blatter,
speaking at Manchester's Soccerex, also confirmed his intention to stand for
re-election next year.
The 78-year-old wants coaches to be allowed at least one challenge against a decision per half.
"They have the right in the half, twice or once, to challenge a refereeing decision but only when the game is stopped," he said.
"Then, there must be a television monitor but by the television company and not by another referee.
And then the referee and the coach, they will go then to look, and then the referee may change his mind, as it is the case in tennis, for instance." The trial could happen as early as next year.
"It can only be done where there is television coverage of all the matches," added Blatter. "Or in one Fifa competition, we can try in a youth competition, an Under-20, like next year when we are in New Zealand."
