Referee David Coote suspended until further notice after video leak
English referee David Coote has been suspended by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) over unethical behaviour.
The PGMOL in a statement on Monday afternoon said Coote is suspended until further notice.
In the statement, PGMOL said: “David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigation.
“PGMOL will be making no further comment until that process is complete.”
The decision is sequel a leaked video, in which Coote made derogatory remarks about Liverpool.
He described the Merseyside club as sh*t and insulted the club’s former manager, Jurgen Klopp.
Coote was the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for Liverpool’s controversial 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Anfield in December 2023.
During the Premier League clash, Martin Odegaard, appeared to have tripped and handled the ball inside the 18-yard box.
