Webb satisfied by VAR rollout in MLS but eyeing improvement
The man overseeing video review in MLS has been encouraged by the results after the league introduced the system midway through the 2017 campaign
Howard Webb knows what it's like to be a leading persona in the world of referees. The Englishman spent a decade as a Premier League and FIFA official, after all. In 2010, he became the first referee to officiate the Champions League final and World Cup final in the same year.
Nowadays, Webb finds himself stateside serving as the manager of video review operations for the Professional Referee Organization. With that role comes the responsibility of overseeing video assistant refereeing in MLS.
