David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigation. PGMOL will be making no further comment until that process is complete.
The video apparently shows Coote referring to Klopp as 'arrogant' and includes offensive language. It is unclear when the video was made or how it surfaced.
Klopp criticized Coote after a match between Liverpool and Burnley in July 2020, claiming Coote was too lenient on Burnley’s challenges throughout the game.
Coote's recent officiating has faced scrutiny, particularly his role in controversial incidents, including a critical non-review during the Arsenal match last season.
