Rizzoli to take charge of Turin derby

Nicola Rizzoli will take charge of Sunday afternoon’s Derby della Mole between Torino and Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico.

It will be the third Turin derby overseen by the 44-year-old, following 2008’s goalless draw and 2014’s clash decided by a solitary Carlos Tevez effort.

The last Bianconeri game he refereed came in the 2014/15 campaign, when goals from Carlos Tevez and Leonardo Bonucci enabled Massimiliano Allegri’s men to overcome Lazio.

Rizzoli will be supported on Sunday afternoon by assistant referees Elenito Di Liberatore and Mauro Tonolini, fourth official Andrea Padovan and goal-line officials Paolo Mazzoleni and Massimiliano Irrati.
