SPORTS 11.11.2024

Premier League referee David Coote was Monday suspended after a video was posted on social media appearing to show him making derogatory remarks about former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

Text size:

It is unclear when the video was made or how it came into circulation but, according to the clip, Coote said Klopp was "arrogant" and used offensive language.

Coote, 42, refereed Liverpool's 2-0 win against Aston Villa on Saturday.

Refereeing body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said in a statement: "David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigation. PGMOL will be making no further comment until that process is complete."
