Premier League referee David Coote has been suspended following the emergence of a video that allegedly features him making derogatory remarks about Liverpool and former manager Jurgen Klopp. The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) announced the immediate suspension pending investigation, although the video’s authenticity remains unverified. Coote, 42, has officiated in the Premier League since 2018 and was involved in a controversial match between Liverpool and Burnley in July 2020, where Klopp criticized his officiating. PGMOL stated it will refrain from further comments until the investigation concludes.
