There's no indication that he's relocated, so it's very possible that earlier team was local and the ref might have heard stories.

The ref may have been referring to the coach's previous team. In the subbed version the ref didn't mention the team by name, just "I've heard of your team before, but today I saw it with my own eyes." The ref may have heard of rumors of a team coached by the previously famous Masaru, which is perhaps more likely for something for him to remember than an obscure team named the Predators. I am guessing from his comment that he had never refereed one of their games before.
Nonetheless, from the previews of episode 13, we will get so see more of this ref and perhaps we'll get a better idea of what's bugging him.

But did the previous Predators team have a bad reputations? I don't remember it being mentioned.
