Premier League referee David Coote has been sacked following an investigation by the PGMOL
Premier League referee David Coote has been sacked following a "thorough investigation" into his conduct.
The Nottinghamshire-born official was suspended by the PGMOL on November 11 pending a full investigation after a video allegedly showed him making derogatory comments about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp. A further investigation was opened two days later after The Sun newspaper published photos it says were taken during this summer's European Championship's in Germany. The images allegedly appeared to show Coote sniffing a white powder through a rolled up US bank note.
"David Coote’s actions were found to be in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable. Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare. David Coote has a right to appeal the decision to terminate his employment.
