The Scottish FA can confirm that VAR Manager Jon Moss will be leaving his role to take up a senior position with another national association.
Moss joined new Scottish FA Head of Refereeing, Willie Collum, last month but has since been offered a top referee job with an association in a different continent.
Willie Collum: “I am obviously disappointed to be losing Jon so quickly but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him and his family and I wish him the very best on his new adventure.
“It is a measure of the esteem in which he is held in refereeing globally that he has been offered a top job in a different continent.
“The work he has undertaken with us as VAR Manager has already strengthened our operation and we will begin the process of recruiting a replacement immediately.”
Jon Moss: “I have loved my short time at the Scottish FA and already I believe clubs, players, managers and supporters see a significant improvement under Willie’s leadership. Even though my time in Scotland has been short and sweet, I have loved working with the Scottish FA and the VAR team at Clydesdale House.
“I leave with only fond memories and a wish that I could have stayed for longer but this is an opportunity of a lifetime and I look forward to the new challenge, better equipped for it by my experience in Scotland.”
