World Cup referee Anthony Taylor lands role with Turkish Football Federation
The 47-year-old announced last month he was retiring from officiating.
English World Cup referee Anthony Taylor has taken up a post as director of elite refereeing with the Turkish Football Federation.
The 47-year-old announced last month he was retiring from officiating after a 20-year career, in which he took charge of 668 professional domestic matches and also refereed at Euro 2020, along with the 2022 and 2026 World Cups.
Taylor’s new role in Turkey was confirmed to the Press Association by the Trinity Chambers legal firm, with barrister Fraser Williamson acting on his behalf in the appointment.
Trinity said Taylor would “lead the strategic and technical development of elite refereeing within the Turkish Football Federation, supporting the organisation’s ambition to further develop its match officials and strengthen its refereeing programme in line with UEFA and FIFA standards”.
