Álava will continue to have a referee in the highest category of national football. Asier Pérez de Mendiola González de Durana is one of the three assistant referees who will be promoted to the First Division from the Second Division for next season, as the Royal Spanish Football Federation announced this Monday. He has also been named second best assistant.
He thus takes over from another from Vitoria, Roberto Díaz Pérez del Palomar, who has just retired after more than two decades in the elite. His departure has opened the door for Pérez de Mendiola, one of the most valued assistants in the silver category. His last match was in the playoff duel between Albacete and Levante.
«Asier was the first substitute last year and the previous one, David (Pérez de Colosia, another assistant from Alava in Second Division). They are ‘top’ kids and have been in the category for some time. They lack the opportunity and while I am here it is difficult for them to make room for them, “Roberto Díaz Pérez del Palomar himself assessed in January.
It is not the only movement. Next to him three other assistants climb: García Lozano, Pérez Dapía and Santiago Sacristán. And they ascend to three main collegiate. They are García Verdura (who led Alavés in Las Palmas and the play off), Busquets Ferrer and Hernández Maeso (referee of the decisive Levante-Alavés). They occupy the gap of the retired Del Cerro Grande and Mateu Lahoz. Pizarro Gomez descends.
