David Coote, a Premier League referee, has been dismissed by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) after an investigation into his conduct. Coote was initially suspended after derogatory comments about Liverpool and its former manager Jurgen Klopp surfaced on social media. Further scrutiny arose from allegations involving images that suggested Coote engaged in substance use during the European Championship. The PGMOL deemed his actions a serious breach of his employment contract, though Coote retains the right to appeal the decision.
