Former Premier League referee David Coote has been formally charged by the Football Association over comments made in a video about ex-Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp.
Coote was dismissed by refereeing body PGMOL in December, around a month after the video had gone viral on social media. UEFA banned him in early 2025 over allegations surrounding his conduct at Euro 2024 the previous summer. He remains barred from officiating in European competitions until the end of June 2026.
