After refereeing 112 matches in the Premier League, David Coote could well disappear from the English Championship forever. In a video relayed on social networks, the referee attacks Liverpool and his former coach.
For several hours, the PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited), the body which governs the refereeing of professional matches in England, is studying a video broadcast on X (formerly Twitter). In this video, highly experienced Premier League referee David Coote is seen calling Liverpool “ sea club… » et Jürgen Klopp they « knowledge… of German “. Appearing visibly tired in this video where he appears in front of the camera, from a telephone, the presence of which he cannot ignore, the 42-year-old referee says all the bad things he thinks of the Reds and their former coach. In December 2023, David Coote officiated the VAR of a match between Liverpool and Arsenal during which the German coach lost his temper following a decision by the referee who did not award a penalty, evident according to Klopp, following a foul on Salah. But it is a priori a match dating from confinement which would have ignited the powder.
This video obviously makes a lot of noise in England where voices are being raised for the exclusion of David Coote given his comments against Liverpool. For its part, however, the PGMOL wants to have all the elements before possibly taking a disciplinary decision, but it is difficult to see how the official could still have a future in the Premier League after such a sequence. However, to believe The Sunthis video could go back many months, but would have come out this Monday, we don’t know for what reason.
