The refereeing body PGMOL is investigating a viral video allegedly showing referee David Coote making derogatory remarks about Liverpool and former manager Jurgen Klopp. While the video’s authenticity remains unverified, it reportedly references a Premier League match from July 2020, where Klopp criticized Coote for his officiating. Coote, a seasoned referee with years in the Premier League, officiated Liverpool’s recent 2-0 win against Aston Villa. The situation has escalated attention on the conduct of officials and the scrutiny they face in high-stakes matches.
