Taylor Reveals Shocking Truth Behind Sudden Retirement: The Hidden Pressure No One Saw Coming
Anthony Taylor says the relentless pressure of elite refereeing, combined with the impact it had on his family, convinced him the time was right to bring the curtain down on his career in English football.
The 47-year-old ended a 20-year spell as one of the Premier League’s leading officials after officiating Spain’s 1-0 World Cup last-16 win over Portugal on July 6.
Taylor has since accepted a new role as director of elite refereeing with the Turkish Football Federation, bringing to an end a career that included 668 domestic matches, every major English cup final and 163 international fixtures.
