FA launches own investigation into referee David Coote over Klopp comments

Referee is already subject of PGMOL investigation.

A video which appears to show Premier League referee David Coote making derogatory comments about former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is being investigated.

The Football Association has launched its own investigation into the behaviour of the referee David Coote after remarks he made about Jürgen Klopp in a video that surfaced online this week.

Coote is the subject of an investigation by the referees’ body Professional Game Match Officials Ltd after clips showed the 42-year-old calling the former Liverpool manager “arrogant” and a “German c**t”.
