Former referee Hugh Dallas has been appointed as the head referee of the Greek Super League, the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) said yesterday.

The 56-year-old Scot earned the position by a majority vote of the EPO’s executive committee members.

Dallas will oversee the selection and assessment of referees as well as their appointments for matches.

The move comes after continued pleas from Greek clubs for a foreigner to take on the administrative role following several match-fixing scandals in recent seasons.

Dallas retired in 2005. From June 2009 to November 2010 he was head of referee development at the Scottish FA.
