Scottish FA names Martin Atkinson as new VAR manager
bbc.com —
Martin Atkinson, a former English Premier League referee, has been appointed as the new VAR manager for the Scottish FA. He will start in early December, replacing Jon Moss, who left after just 52 days for a role in Australia. Atkinson has 20 years of experience officiating in England's top league and refereed the 2015 Europa League final. He will leave his position at Professional Game Match Officials Limited to work with SFA head of refereeing Willie Collum. Collum expressed satisfaction with Atkinson's appointment, noting the need for continuity in the VAR operation. Moss's departure was unexpected, but he received support for his new opportunity.
