The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) has terminated referee David Coote’s contract amid allegations of misconduct, including insults towards former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp and accusations of drug misuse. Coote was previously suspended after a video surfaced allegedly showing him engaging in inappropriate behavior. PGMOL declared Coote’s actions as a serious breach of contract, leading to UEFA initiating an investigation. Coote has the right to appeal the decision but has officiated in top-level English football since 2018.
