- Former Premier League referee David Coote has been charged by the Football Association (FA) for comments he made about ex-Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
- Coote was sacked by Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) in December following a viral video showing him making derogatory remarks about Klopp in July 2020.
- One of Coote's comments concerned Klopp’s nationality, leading the FA to claim it was an 'aggravated breach' of its rules.
- David Coote previously said he felt “ashamed” of his behaviour and the “really poor choices” that led to his dismissal.
- The FA stated that Coote will face no further action regarding separate allegations of gambling misconduct, which he had denied and were fully investigated.
