He previously coached Sevilla’s 1-2 Champions League round of 16 wins at Old Trafford.
40-year-old Danny Makkelie this season refereed Atlético de Madrid-Bruges, which ended in a 0-0 draw, and Bayern Munich-Barcelona, also in the Champions League, which ended in a 2-0 victory for the Germans. At the World Cup in Qatar, he whistled the match that Spain drew 1-1 against Germany in the group stage.
