REFEREE DAVID COOTE has been sacked following the emergence of a video where he made derogatory remarks about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp.
“Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare,” PGMOL’s statement added.The video which triggered PGMOL’s investigation into Coote’s conduct first came to public attention on 11 November. He then describes Klopp as a “c**t”, and, asked why he felt that way, Coote says the German had “a right pop at me when I reffed them against Burnley in lockdown” and had accused him of lying.
The investigation by PGMOL which led to Coote’s contract being terminated is also understood to have looked at another video which appeared to show Coote snorting a white powder, purportedly during Euro 2024 where he was one of the assistant VARs for the tournament.
