Coote seems to use a highly offensive term to describe German boss Klopp, who left Liverpool in the summer after almost a decade in charge.

The Premier League referee David Coote has been suspended after video footage emerged apparently showing him calling Jürgen Klopp a “German c**t” and Liverpool “shit”.

According to the clip that surfaced on social media on Monday, Coote claimed that Klopp was “arrogant” and had accused him of lying after a match between Liverpool and Burnley during Project Restart in 2020.
