Mike Riley, the head of Premier League referees, will step down from his role next season, following complaints made from several top-flight clubs about his competency.
It was previously reported that a host of Premier League sides were pushing for a change in command, as they believed too many mistakes were made during games in the 2021-22 season.
In a statement from the Professional Game Match Officials Board, it has now been confirmed that Riley will leave his role next season - one which he had held since 2009 when he replaced Keith Hackett.
