Premier League referee Coote fired after comments about Liverpool and Klopp

Hindustan Times  

LONDON — Premier League match official David Coote was fired on Monday after his position was deemed “untenable” by English soccer’s referees body following an investigation into his conduct. HT Image The Professional Game Match Officials Limited suspended Coote on Nov. 12 while it looked into a video, published by The Sun newspaper, that circulated of him making offensive comments to friends about former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp. Since then, UEFA also launched an investigation into Coote following a video, again published by The Sun, allegedly showing him using cocaine during the European Championship this year. Two videos, apparently filmed using a phone, circulated on social media appearing to show Coote giving his personal opinion on Liverpool and Klopp, its long-time former manager, when asked by another unidentified man.
