David Coote: Ex-Premier League referee charged by FA over Jurgen Klopp comments

Advertisements

Former Premier League referee David Coote has been charged by the Football Association for comments made about ex-Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp during a video that was leaked on social media.

The 42-year-old was suspended on 11 November 2024 after a video showed him making derogatory comments about Klopp and Liverpool.

Coote was sacked by the Premier League referees’ body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) in December 2024 following a “thorough investigation” into his conduct.

The FA has now charged Coote in relation to rule E3.1, which alleges he acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words.

It says reference to Klopp’s nationality in the video constituted an “aggravated” breach.

However, Coote has been cleared of any gambling misconduct following claims that the referee had discussed issuing a yellow card to a player prior to a match.
