Antonio Mateu Lahoz Retirement Announcement

Apparently Lahoz is retiring completely at the end of the season
Unfortunate as I can't help but feel the final nail in the
coffin was the QF in Qatar

Agree with you fully Adam. Understandable but I for one will
miss his somewhat eccentric Dean-esque style of refereeing. I
wish him well in retirement.

He's already retired once before Euro 2020(1) but changed his
mind.

Shame in a way - he's a great personality however he's prone to
randomness and some very bizarre games! I like him though, he
seems very likeable.

We now at a awful crossroads where the most elite of officials
are nowretiring and what is coming in behind is so far off PL/
top flight level in that country the level is crazy
😆😆
I have never seen the premier league so weak and the options to
promote are so few and far between.

There is nothing official yet. Just a rumor.

The broader issue is really quite acute. Throughout both
England and Scotland, a vast number of officials
resigned/retired in 2020-2022. That was throughout the pyramid,
but a lot at the middle-to-lower echelons.
That will have an impact over the next few years, as the number
of experienced officials vying for promotion is lower than it
would normally be.
