Who is Milorad Mazic?
SINCE turning pro in 2006, Mazic has been a feature in the Serbian Premier League - and took just three years to reach international level.
The Serb likes to take full control on the field and is no-nonsense - with no playing up to the cameras or getting pally with the players.
Due to his superb handling of fiery derbies, Mazic was called inby theEgyptian FA in 2015 to referee the country's biggest derby betweenCairocross-town rivalsAl AhlyandZamalek.
He has reffed at the highest level, including the Champions League and European Championships.
Why did he upset Cristiano Ronaldo in 2014?
THE Serbian was voted the worst referee of the World Cup in 2014, largely to do with his performance in Portugal's game against Germany.
Cristiano Ronaldo reacted and was visibly upset by his decisions which saw defender Pepe sent off and Mario Gotze awarded a sift penalty.
