ITS OVER!! Premier League VAR Chief To Retire From Role (SEE DETAILS)

Premier League video assistant referee chief Neil Swarbrick is to leave his role at the end of the season.

Swarbrick moved on to lead video assistant referee duties after his on-field career came to an end in 2018.

The 57-year-old has spearheaded VAR’s implementation in the top flight.

But he has now opted to retire amid a period of change at PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) triggered by the arrival of Howard Webb as chief refereeing officer.

Former World Cup final referee Webb returned to English football to take up the newly created role at the end of 2022 after five years in the United States.

The VAR system has endured frequent controversies since being introduced into the Premier League from the start of the 2019-20 campaign.

Earlier this month Lee Mason left PGMOL following his VAR error during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Brentford.
