Howard Webb has retired from refereeing to take up a new position as
Technical Director of Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL),
which was newly created to oversee match officials.
This brings to an end a distinguished 25-year career which saw Webb take
charge of the 2010 World Cup and Champions League finals. Howard Webb
said “I am very excited to start this new chapter in my career after a
wonderfully rewarding 25 years on the pitch,” the 43-year-old said on
the Premier League website. “I have spent over a decade with the best
seat in the house for Barclays Premier League matches, been lucky enough
to be involved in nine UEFA and FIFA tournaments, and taken charge of
the UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup finals. Webb’s new position
will see him oversee the technical direction and standards that govern
the on-field performance of match officials, as well as informing and
educating the public on refereeing matters.
