Rosetti is counted amongst the top referees of all time in a list maintained by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).[2] He retired following the 2010 FIFA World Cup to take a position with the Italian Football Federation as the referee designator for Serie B League.
Luciano Moggi, then general director of Juventus, had described Rosetti and his colleague Pierluigi Collina as being too 'objective' in an intercepted telephone call. Moggi also claimed that Rosetti and Collina should be 'punished' for decisions made against Juventus in that same phonecall.[3]
Rosseti is currently the Chief Refereeing Officer and Chairman of the Referees Committee at UEFA.[4]
