Mark Clattenburg hired by Premier League club for 'key role' in shock appointment

Mark Clattenburg has landed a role in England following his jobs oversea.

Mark Clattenburg has been appointed by a Premier League club, landing a key position.

Clattenburg officiated in the Premier League for 13 years before leaving England in 2017 for a series of different jobs overseas.

His most notable role following his departure from England's top flight was as Saudi Arabia's Head of Refereeing.

Clattenburg was also a professional referee in China and secured a gig as president of the Egyptian Referees Committee back in August 2022.

But he has returned to the Premier League, having been appointed by Nottingham Forest as their new referees' analyst.

He was in attendance at the City Ground for Forest's league clash against West Ham United on Saturday.

And he was with the club's owner Evangelos Marinakis before kick-off. Tony Scholes, the Premier League’s chief football officer, was also at the game.

Forest have decided to hire the 48-year-old because of their frustrations over a number of decisions by officials and VAR this season.

They have lodged three official complaints to the PFMOL this season about officiating decisions.

According to The Telegraph, Clattenburg is regarded as a move to improve understanding and relationships.

Forest made their feelings known about Stuart Attwell's performance in their 3-2 defeat to Manchester United last August.

The club issued a complaint to PGMOL over Willy Boly's red card in their 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth before Christmas, too. Chief refereeing officer Howard Webb issued an apology to Nuno Espirito Santo following the incident.

And they also complained about Ivan Toney after he moved the foam before taking a free-kick in a game which Forest lost 3-2.

Forest currently occupy 15th place and are five points clear of the relegation zone.

They beat West Ham 2-0 on Saturday thanks to goals from Taiwo Awoniyi and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Forest resume their league campaign next Saturday against Aston Villa.
