The Premier League's refereeing body is undergoing a major overhaul with chief Howard Webb working on creating a pool of 'VAR specialists' to boost accuracy.
There will also be a new VAR manager to replace Neil Swarbrick, who is retiring at the end of this season, as well as Adam Gale-Watts taking over as technical director and Jon Moss becoming Select Group director.
A flux of new coaches will be brought in to work with on-field referees on their tactical awareness in fixtures, too.
This serious collection of changes is at the behest of Webb, whose team of 'VAR specialists' will focus solely on being video officials, whereas this season there have been on-field referees filling in at Stockley Park – such as David Coote, who will referee Newcastle-Tottenham on Sunday and then act as VAR for Manchester City-Arsenal on Wednesday.
