David Coote, the referee who was recently dismissed by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) after a video surfaced of him using a derogatory term to refer to former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, has been spotted for the first time since his dismissal.
In the photo, Coote can be seen looking somber as he walks down the street, wearing a casual outfit and staring straight ahead. The incident in question occurred when Coote was caught on camera making the offensive remark, leading to his immediate dismissal from his role as a referee.
The video in question has caused uproar among football fans and officials, who have condemned Coote’s behavior as unacceptable and disrespectful. Klopp, who is widely respected in the football community, was reportedly shocked and disappointed by the incident.
The PGMOL moved swiftly to terminate Coote’s employment, stating that his actions did not align with the values and principles of the organization. Coote has not publicly commented on the matter, but it is clear that he is facing the consequences of his actions.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for David Coote, but one thing is certain – his derogatory remarks have tarnished his reputation and career in the world of football refereeing.
