Daniele Orsato will take charge of England’s Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland in Dusseldorf on Saturday evening.
The experienced Italian official has taken charge of his last club game this season as he will retire from refereeing after this tournament. The 48-year-old, a FIFA-listed referee since 2010, burst into tears after refereeing his final Champions League game – the semi-final second-leg between PSG and Borussia Dortmund in May – and received a guard of honour from Atalanta and Fiorentina after his final Serie A match.
Orsato took charge of the 2020 Champions League final between PSG and Bayern Munich and was also the man in the middle for the Argentina-Croatia semi-final at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, with Croatia skipper Luka Modric later labelling the Italian’s display a “disaster.”
At Euro 2024, Orasto has taken charge of three games: England’s opening-game win against Serbia, Germany’s group-stage draw vs Switzerland and Portugal’s penalty shoot-out victory against Slovenia in the last-16
