Pascal Garibian, in office for 10 years, will probably be replaced during the cut due to the World Cup.

To succeed him, the name of his deputy, Stéphane Lannoy, comes back insistently.

Anthony Gauthier and Alain Sars are also credible candidates, indicates the sports daily.

Laurent Duhamel, referee manager at the professional level, should also leave his post in the coming weeks.

The controversies and disputes on the part of players and coaches have multiplied in recent weeks, at the heart of a tense season at the end of which four teams will go down to Ligue 2. This Thursday, Antoine Kombouaré was suspended for three games , including one firm, for having accused the referees of the Nantes-Nice match (1-1) of having "lied" and of having been "dishonest".
