Howard Webb refereed a Champions League and World Cup final in the same year © Getty Howard Webb has retired from a refereeing career which included a World Cup final to become technical director of the body which selects and governs Premier League match officials. Webb ends a 25-year professional career in which he became the first man to officiate showpiece matches of both the Champions League and World Cup in the same year, a feat he achieved in 2010. The former police officer from Rotherham will take up a newly created position with Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) to spearhead the training and development of future top-flight referees. "I am very excited to start this new chapter in my career after a wonderfully rewarding 25 years on the pitch," Webb, 43, told the Premier League's official website. SOURCE
