About our David Coote news
Latest news on David Coote, the former English football referee who primarily officiated in the English Premier League before his dismissal in December 2024.
On November 11, Coote was suspended by PGMOL after video footage from the 2020-21 season emerged, showing him making derogatory remarks about Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp. Coote initially denied the video's authenticity but later admitted it was genuine.
Later that month, the FA began investigating allegations of match-fixing linked to a Championship game in 2019, where Coote allegedly arranged to issue a yellow card to benefit a friend's bet. Coote denied the claims, but following the investigation, he was dismissed on December 9.
