"In the video, Coote criticized Liverpool's performance, calling them 's---' and labeled Klopp as 'absolute c---', expressing his disdain for Klopp's behavior during a past game."
"The FA stated that Coote's comments toward Klopp constitute an 'Aggravated Breach' under FA rules, due to references made relating to nationality."
David Coote, a former Premier League referee, has been charged by the Football Association (FA) following disparaging remarks he made about Jürgen Klopp in a video posted online. Coote, who was dismissed from PGMOL in November 2024, called Klopp 'absolute c---' and criticized Liverpool's performance harshly. The FA claims Coote's comments violated rules against abusive language, potentially involving an 'Aggravated Breach' due to references made about Klopp's nationality. Although he is no longer officiating, he could face fines or bans if he returns to football.
