David Coote Faces Potential Misconduct Charge as FA Probes Alleged Comments on Klopp
Premier League referee David Coote may face an aggravated misconduct charge as the FA investigates alleged derogatory remarks he made about Liverpool and former coach Jurgen Klopp.
A video that went viral on social media on Monday is at the center of the controversy. In the clip, a man, alleged to be Coote, is heard using offensive language against Liverpool and Klopp. The referee reportedly referred to the team as “sht” and used a derogatory term toward Klopp, calling him a “German c**.”
Following the video’s circulation, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the organization responsible for overseeing referees in English football, swiftly suspended Coote. PGMOL also confirmed that a full investigation is underway to determine the facts behind the allegations.
