Limited (PGMOL). The statement continue by stating that Webb will now be responsible for overseeing the technical direction and standards that govern the on-field performance of PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Board ) match officials. And will also take a public-facing role, informing and educating on refereeing matters and will report to PGMOL General Manager Mike Riley and will join his management team.
This resignation brings to end Webb's 25-years career in refereeing. His last performance as a referee was during this summer’s World Cup, when he officiated the clash between Brazil in Chile Round of 16. Now 43-year-old Webb began refereeing in 1989 and later progressed through the Northern Counties and Football League to become a Select Group referee in 2003. On his records, Webb has officiated more than 500 Barclays Premier League and Football League matches, as well as every major domestic final. He has also refereed in eight international tournaments, including two FIFA World Cups and two UEFA European Championships. 2010, Webb became the first referee to take charge of the UEFA Champions League final and the FIFA World Cup final in the same year.
Among his statement released by the Premier League Webb said “Refereeing has given me so much and it’s important that match officials who have had the rewards remain in the game to pass on their knowledge. I also have much more to learn about the business of refereeing and the best place for me to do that is with PGMOL. It’s an incredibly positive working environment and we all have a common goal of improving refereeing.”
